Fresh harvests, rather than shop availability

A crop appears when growers in the Netherlands normally harvest it during that month. The calendar excludes imports and produce available only from long-term storage, heated greenhouses, or other protected methods.

Locally grown produce sold outside these harvest months may have been stored after harvest. A blank fruit or vegetable month does not mean shops have no locally grown produce.

This is a selected catalogue of common fruit and vegetables, not a complete list of every crop in the Netherlands. Herbs, mushrooms, nuts and rhubarb are outside its scope. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are grouped with vegetables.

Seasons vary across the Netherlands

This is an approximate national guide, not a local crop forecast. Weather, latitude, altitude, cultivar, and farming method can shift harvest dates by several weeks. Harvests may begin earlier in warmer areas and later in cooler areas.

Voedingscentrum covers open fields, plastic tunnels and unheated greenhouses without marking stored produce. For apples, pears, onions, pumpkins, carrots, beetroot, celeriac and cabbage, the catalogue keeps months within the United Kingdom and Ireland fresh-harvest windows. It omits forced chicory.

Use the calendar to plan seasonal meals, then check what's being harvested by growers near you. The month ranges describe typical seasons rather than a prediction for this year's weather.

The catalogue draws on Voedingscentrum's seasonal calendar. The UK and Ireland sources support the fresh-harvest checks described above. Read the source guide and methodology for how evidence is selected.
