The Zinnepot field
Discover pick-your-own vegetables, fruits and flowers in Brussels-Haren
Self-picking by subscription is a way to feed the neighbors that is freer, more joyful and closer to the land.
You have access to a wide variety of ultra-fresh, seasonal vegetables, grown without pesticides or chemicals, on 60 ares in the heart of Brussels.
Our objectives
Farm to fork
Our main mission is to create a direct link between those who eat and those who grow food.
The production is local and pesticide-free, respecting the soil and ecosystem by applying the techniques of Market Gardening on Living Soil (MSV).
Your commitment helps support small-scale and sustainable agriculture, ensuring decent working conditions for your market gardeners.
Breathe, learn, transmit
Coming to the field is about slowing down and breathing. It’s not just about harvesting; it’s also about reconnecting with nature and witnessing the cycle of the seasons.
If you have children, they discover the harvests and biodiversity in action, learning by getting their hands in the soil.
The field remains alive, participatory, and deeply rooted in its neighbourhood.
The freedom to pick
With self-picking, you only harvest what you want to cook, at the right time when the vegetable is ripe.
Nothing is picked for nothing, which means less loss and waste. At the end of the cycle, you are notified to help yourself as much as you want and clear the growing beds. What is not harvested is given to local associations.
The subscription
You become a field member for the season from the beginning of May to the end of October.
The 2026 season has 26 weeks of opening: each week, you come to pick your vegetables, aromatic plants, flowers and small fruits, directly from the gardens grown for you.
Access is free: you choose your time of the week or weekend, you pick what is ripe, you go home with your hands full.
Equipment is provided and you will receive a short training course at the beginning of the season.
