Rianne's Pluktuin

Van Grotel – Blauwe Bessen Cultuur is a family-run farm located in Nuenen, in the Brabant countryside, specializing in growing blueberries for over 25 years. The farm has been cultivating blueberries on its fields for more than 50 years, starting with the founder’s parents who initially grew asparagus, vegetables, and strawberries before turning to blueberries in 1970. The farm emphasizes natural growing methods and careful plant care, including winter pruning and the use of bumblebees and bees for pollination in spring. The farm offers a 15,000 m² self-picking field where visitors can pick their own blueberries during the picking season, which typically runs from July to August. Guests receive buckets and instructions upon arrival and can take their picked berries home at a reduced price. In addition to fresh blueberries, the farm sells a variety of products made from its own blueberries, including frozen blueberries (available from July to mid-September), jam, syrup, juice, compote, blueberry beer, wine, liqueur, honey, chocolate, macarons, muffins, bavarois, and ice cream. The farm is wheelchair accessible, with wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance available. The farm is a member of the Cooperative Royal Fruitmasters Group.

Forever Flower Crafts is an ecological flower farm and pick-your-own garden located at Zorghoeve de Malbergh in Beek and Donk. The farm focuses on sustainably grown, seasonal blooms and offers a range of fresh and dried flower products, as well as custom services like bridal bouquet preservation and dried flower arrangements. The business operates with a strong emphasis on nature, creativity, and community. Visitors can self-pick flowers directly from the pluktuin (pick-your-own garden) during the open season. The garden is open from June through the end of the summer season. In 2026, the pluktuin reopens in June following a winter break and a temporary closure for a family expansion in May. The pick-your-own season runs through the summer, with the fresh flower season typically concluding around early autumn.

Van MOES is a self-picking farm situated at Streekpark Land van Kien in Sint-Oedenrode, Netherlands. It operates on a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, where members can directly harvest their own seasonal, local, and ecologically grown produce. The farm aims to foster a connection between individuals, their food, nature, and the local community. The garden is cared for by two dedicated gardeners, Marianne and Susan, who oversee the planning, sowing, and maintenance of the diverse crops. They employ sustainable farming methods, including no-dig cultivation to maintain soil health, strip cultivation to encourage biodiversity and natural pest control, and crop rotation to prevent soil depletion, all without the use of chemical pesticides.

Pluktuin Mooy is a flower garden located at Kasteelweg in Aarle-Rixtel, dedicated to growing flowers in a natural and sustainable way, without the use of toxins or heated greenhouses. The garden is operated by a female entrepreneur and was born from a deep passion for nature and flowers. The focus is on seasonal, locally grown blooms that are rich in color, scent, and life. Visitors can self-pick their own flowers directly from the fields. The garden is open for picking during the season, which runs from approximately spring through late summer. In addition to self-picking, the garden offers services such as flower subscriptions, gift certificates, and hosting special events like professional mini photo shoots and yoga sessions amidst the flowers. A separate service called “Mooy’s Tuinhulp” provides natural garden design, maintenance, and advice on Thursdays, when the garden is closed to the public.
