Open all through the school summer holidays with strawberries, raspberries and sunflowers available to pick. Our strawberries are now grown on tabletops – no bending required to pick them – all outdoors, so they ripen naturally adding to their flavour. This method of growing strawberries also allows us to extend the season with delicious strawberries now available throughout the summer. Our sunflower patch is looking magnificent, why not pick a few of these happy blooms to take home. By October our attention turns to PYO pumpkins, but you can see them now growing in the field.
We also have a small shop selling our own jam along with drinks and ice creams and as we are part of a working farm there are crops and livestock is adjacent fields to see – you may see our bulls Fred and Barney or perhaps our tractors and combine harvester working in the fields.
