’t Plukgeluk is a self-picking garden located just outside Bedum, at Wolddijk 65 in Noordwolde (Gr.). The garden is founded on a philosophy of free and self-sufficient living, employing ecologically responsible methods that strictly avoid the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or other chemical agents.
Visitors have the opportunity to self-pick a variety of organically grown produce. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 10:00 to 17:00, guests can harvest their own vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs. A basket and a map of the plot are provided to guide the self-picking experience.
Beyond the dedicated self-picking hours, a 24-hour roadside stand is available daily, offering fresh products directly from the land. While the specific offerings vary seasonally, the stand frequently stocks items such as various vegetables (including chicory, purslane, cauliflower, kale, and sprouts), eggs, and dried herbs. The farm also provides items for planting, such as garlic, small onions, and potatoes, and occasionally offers homemade creams, ointments, and preserves. An online ordering service is available for seasonal products, which are freshly picked on the day of collection.
Throughout the year, ’t Plukgeluk hosts a range of activities and events. These include practical workshops on topics like growing tomatoes or beginner gardening using the “no-dig” method, as well as guided tours, lectures, and farm-to-table dinners that feature ingredients almost exclusively sourced from the garden.
The garden, operated by initiator Lars and a team of dedicated volunteers, is currently undergoing a temporary winter closure. For inquiries, ’t Plukgeluk can be contacted via phone at 06-31539068 or email at [email protected].
