zelfpluktuinen.nl

Posted on Sep 7, 2025

I’ve started a new project in 2025. I’ve built a web directory.

ZelfPluktuinen.nl is a comprehensive online platform that connects people with self-picking gardens (pluktuinen) throughout the Netherlands. The website serves as a bridge between urban consumers and local agricultural producers, offering a unique way to experience fresh, seasonal produce firsthand.

What it offers

  • Comprehensive destination guide covering plucking gardens across all 12 Dutch provinces
  • Seasonal picking opportunities with detailed information about what’s available when
  • Local farm connections enabling direct relationships with agricultural communities
  • Agricultural tourism that makes farming accessible and enjoyable

The concept

The platform promotes the “pick-your-own” experience where visitors can personally harvest fresh produce, flowers, and herbs directly from local farms and gardens. This creates a connection between consumers and their food sources while supporting sustainable, local agriculture.

Value proposition

ZelfPluktuinen.nl makes agricultural experiences accessible by helping people:

  • Find local, seasonal produce at its freshest
  • Support sustainable farming practices
  • Engage in fun, educational outdoor activities
  • Connect with local farming communities
  • Plan meaningful agricultural outings

I hope the tagline captures it: “Start vandaag met ontdekken en plukken!” (Start discovering and picking today!)
