Pick your own strawberries
Fun for the whole family
Whether you pick your own strawberries directly on the spot, or make a delicious cake or jam out of it. Self-picking is an event for big and small, and together with the family it is even more fun.
If you want to become a self-picker but don’t know when the fields are open, keep a look at our map embedded below.
During harvest time the fields are open daily from 8:00am to 6:00pm (also on Sundays and holidays). Also this year completely without appointment, negative test or proof of vaccination – just drop by.
How to pick
Bring a basket, bowl or a bucket along to help saving resources.
If you forgot yours, no worries you can also purchase baskets at the field.
Pick as many strawberries as you like!
You can snack some while picking as well.
Tip: On very hot days it is recommended to bring sunscreen, water and a hat.

White Asparagus - What is it?
White asparagus is a german speciality. If you ever spend springtime in Germany you got to try it.
Field-fresh asparagus has long played a major role in the field of healthy nutrition, not only because of its taste, but also its healing powers in the field of natural medicine and health food. Palatinate asparagus is low in calories (17 Kcal/100 g), rich in fiber, various vitamins and minerals. Asparagus gets its typical taste from essential oils, aspartic acid and active plant substances. Asparagus has a detoxifying effect for the body.
How to prepare fresh white asparagus?
- 1. Peel every single asparagus shoot thouroughly. Start about 3cm below the tip and peel to the bottom of the shoot.
- 2. After you have checked every shoot for remaining peel you can cut if necessary the bottom 0.5cm off the shoot. This gives the asparagus a fresh cut. It serves also as a check for remaining peel along the asparagus.
- 3. Take a deep pan or a roasting pan as long as your asparagus shoots. Place the asparagus into a roasting pan filled with as much water as needed to just cover the asparagus. Add some salt and a table spoon of butter.
- 4. Boil the asparagus on low heat until they're "al dente" (firm but not too soft)
Tipp: Add some ginger to the asparagus while cooking to remove potential bitterness. The asparagus is a natural wild plant, which carries many healthy substances and vitamins, and also can randomly taste bitter seldomly.
