Flevoland, the Netherlands’ youngest province, is an agricultural wonderland with large-scale cultivation of vegetables including potatoes, onions, and carrots. The u-pick farms in Flevoland offer expansive fields where you can pick fruit yourself, including strawberries, berries, and plums. Fresh vegetables like pumpkins, corn, and various lettuce varieties are abundant, and the herb gardens are filled with fresh parsley, cilantro, and dill.
The best u-pick farms in Flevoland
Flevoland is land that did not exist fifty years ago. That young polder soil has something fascinating about it: the plots are straighter than anywhere else in the Netherlands, and the earth is so fertile that farmers here speak of it with something close to disbelief. The pick-your-own farms benefit from this to the full.
de Zuiderkrib is Flevoland’s standout flower farm: summer blooms, wildflowers, dahlias, and berries across a generous, open polder site. The combination of flowers and fruit in one visit makes it one of the most attractive picking locations in the province.
Tuin Moes offers the widest vegetable range: broad beans, runner beans, lettuce, tomato, pepper, and twenty-five other varieties. A paradise for the home cook who wants a full crate to take home.
X T R A K R A G T is a care farm with a notably wide range: dahlias, soft fruit, and berries in a setting where the visit has a social dimension beyond the picking itself.
Fruitbedrijf Masteling and Fruithal Smits are the addresses for apples and pears — two established fruit operations that combine the polder tradition of large-scale production with the directness of picking your own.
Tip: Flevoland farms are well-connected from Amsterdam and Utrecht. On a weekday you can reach them in under forty-five minutes and have the fields largely to yourself.
