Pick your own

We are now open for strawberry picking. PYO will run right through to October, ending with Pumpkins!

Scroll down, or click the link below, to see our daily updates about what is available to pick!

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!
