This self-picking farm allows visitors to harvest their own unsprayed vegetables, herbs, and flowers from May to December. The crops are grown naturally and in harmony with the environment. Each week, participants receive an “harvest agenda” via email, detailing what is ready to be picked. The farm offers benefits such as reduced environmental impact due to the lack of distribution and packaging, cost savings compared to supermarket prices, increased knowledge of local, seasonal produce, healthy eating without pesticides, and the opportunity to relax and meet other people. Currently, the farm has reached its maximum capacity, and interested individuals can join a waiting list.
