’t Plukgeluk is a pick-your-own garden near Noordwolde where visitors harvest organic vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs. The farm grows a wide variety of seasonal produce, including tomatoes, beetroot, kale, radishes, various cabbages, herbs like oregano and rosemary, and self-made creams and salves from garden plants. Eggs and soya milk are also available.
The garden is open on Saturdays from 12.00 to 17.00. On these days, you can walk the fields with a basket and pick what is in season. You pay for what you harvest. The rest of the week, a roadside stall sells fresh produce daily. The stall operates on an honesty system: you take what you want and pay by leaving cash in a box or transferring the amount online.
The farm also hosts workshops and events throughout the year, such as courses on growing tomatoes, making herbal creams, and preserving food. Some events require advance booking. The garden is wheelchair-accessible, with accessible parking, seating and entrance.
All produce is grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. The farm’s approach is based on self-sufficiency and respect for people, animals and the environment.
What visitors say
Visitors pick fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit—some even return home with self-plucked tea. The produce is consistently described as delicious and high-quality, with prices called reasonable or “for a pittance.” Payment can be made via Tikkie, and the owners, Lars and Sarah, are frequently praised for their warmth and hospitality. The farm is a relaxed spot, with some stopping just for the ice cream. A few mention it’s a great place to bring children, though there’s no detail on specific facilities for them. The only note of caution comes from one visitor who found it worth the visit but not exceptional.
