Berries farms

Grab a basket, round up your besties or the whole family, and head to one of the many pick-your-own farms scattered across the Dutch countryside. The mission? Berries. Raspberries, blackberries, red currants, and those plump, sun-warmed blueberries that practically beg to be popped straight into your mouth. The vibe is pure summer: the hum of bumblebees, the scent of warm earth, and the satisfying plink of a ripe berry dropping into your pail. There is no wrong way to pick them, but the pros know to look for the ones that come away with the gentlest tug. If you have to pull, it’s not ready yet, so leave unripe berries on the plant for later. Currants are easiest to snip off as whole clusters. Pick in the cooler morning or late afternoon, when the berries are firmer and bruise less. By the end, your fingers will be stained a lovely shade of purple, and your basket will be overflowing with sunshine.

Back Home: From Basket to Belly

You’re looking at a mountain of berries. Don’t panic. Keep them unwashed in the fridge, in a single layer or a ventilated container, and rinse them gently just before use. Raspberries and blackberries keep only a day or two, currants three to five days, and blueberries about a week. Anything you can’t eat in time freezes well: spread the dry berries on a tray first, then bag them.

Two Recipes

1. Dutch Berry Pancakes (Pannekoeken) A twist on the classic hearty Dutch pancake.

Ingredients: 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, pinch of salt, 2 tbsp butter, 2 cups mixed fresh berries, 2 tbsp sugar, whipped cream (optional).
Method: Whisk flour, milk, eggs, and salt into a smooth batter. Melt butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in batter, then immediately scatter berries over the top and sprinkle with sugar. Cook until the bottom is golden and the top is set (about 3-4 minutes). Flip carefully (or slide onto a plate and flip back in) and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a very happy breakfast or avondeten.

2. Quick Berry & Mint Salad Perfect for a light dessert or a side with grilled chicken.

Ingredients: 3 cups mixed berries, 2 tbsp superfine sugar (or honey), 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 10 fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced.
Method: Gently toss the berries with sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature so the sugar dissolves and draws out the juices. Right before serving, chiffonade the mint and fold it in. That burst of mint and tart berry is pure perfection.

At Tuinderij de Hooge Oogst in Tiendeveen, you pick your own vegetables, herbs and flowers directly from the field. The farm operates on a community-supported agriculture (CSA) model, where members buy a share of the harvest for a full season rather than paying per kilo. Shares are available for the growing season, typically from mid-June to the end of November, with occasional winter vegetables. Instead of a traditional pick-your-own system, members receive weekly emails listing what is ready to harvest and how much they can take. You visit the farm to gather your produce yourself, with the option to send someone else if you cannot come. The farm is open for picking on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, though exact hours are not fixed—visitors are encouraged to come when it suits them once familiar with the process.
