Pick Your Own
Our PYO fields are open from late May until October. We offer some eight different crops for picking, our most popular being tabletop strawberries, which are grown on raised platforms so that the strawberries are easy to pick. The first strawberry crop of the season is grown at knee height which makes picking for little ones easy and fun.
But do not miss these other amazing fruits – raspberries gooseberries, blackberries, blackcurrants & redcurrants We have vegetables too, depending on the year… Currently Broad Beans Sweetcorn & Potatoes, plus of course loads of Pumpkins for Halloween!
