Boschendal's picnic offering is a pre-booked, paid basket enjoyed on the lawns of its historic werf, rather than a bring-your-own picnic spot — the farm explicitly asks guests not to bring their own food or drink. Baskets run from Thursday to Sunday, with collection between midday and 2pm and the picnic area closing at 4pm. Contact the farm to confirm current pricing and booking requirements.
