Reviews

‘Enjoyed a great day fruit picking. The farm is well run and friendly. Wide selection of fruit and vegetables to pick and the quality is excellent.

“A plentiful supply of excellent strawberries, raspberries, cherries, plums, blackcurrants, peas, beans and sweetcorn. Its hard not to pick too much!

Wonderful, lovely strawberries. Very impressive rows and rows of plants, gorgeous fresh fruit with good colour, impressed!

Such fun picking your own. The fields are extensive with good choices of berry fruit and vegetables. Most enjoyable: fresh air, walking, pleasant staff, parking, apple juice in the small shop. Great fun for all!

Hidden gem :) I love this farm! So much fun exploring the fruit/veg to pick! Fresh apple juice in the shop tastes divine! And strawberry jam that was naturally sweet. So worth the trip, fresh fruit and veg that tasted great!

Fantastic farm visit and great strawberries. A lovely time. Fresh Strawberries were juicy and sweet.
