Biobees
One of the great things about Biobees is that you don’t have to worry about the weather dampening your strawberry-picking adventure. They have covered areas where you can pick, so rain or shine, you’re good to go. Just make sure to wear your wellies, as it can get a bit muddy in the fields.
How It Works
Upon arrival, you’ll register and receive small boxes on site to harvest your strawberries. If you prefer, you can even bring your own boxes.
Once you’re equipped with your boxes, you’ll head into the covered fields and explore at your own pace. Take your time and carefully pick the ripest strawberries you can find. And don’t worry if you need more boxes, just head to the reception and they’ll be happy to provide you with extras.
When you’ve collected the amount of strawberries you want, it’s time to head to the checkout. There, you’ll pay for your harvest based on its weight. They’ve got everything you need, whether it’s bags or transport boxes, to make it convenient for you to take your strawberries home.
Tips
- Wear your wellies! It can get muddy.
- Not really stroller friendly, as the rows of strawberries are quite narrow, there have been people in the group that have said it was okayish with a stroller. It’s for a short time and it’s muddy, so it’s best to get a baby carrier.
- There’s about 10 to 15 parking places available at the farm.
- Open only on specific dates and times! Join their newsletter to get notified of the exact dates or our newsletter. This is always shared in our World Wild Schooling – Belgium group as well.
