🧺 WHAT TO KNOW
Please bring your own packaging if you can or bring some change to buy some of ours. We recommend punnets for fruit so they don't get bruised and bags for vegetables, you will need a separate item for each different fruit or veg.
The prices are at the entrance and any member of family or staff can help you roughly work out how much your pick will be.

πŸ€” WHAT FOOD IS AVAILABLE?
An up to date list of what we have available and it's price can always be found on the homepage via the event link.

We have portable toilets, including one which is wider access with a flush threshold and hand rails.

♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
When the weather is good the ground, although a little uneven in places, is suitable for using a pushchair, wheelchair or disability buggy with someone accompanying. The Pick Your Own fields have grass tracks around the edges and between the blocks of crops which you can easily travel along.

Most crops are grown in ridges or beds, like Strawberries for example, so it would not be possible to get into the middle of the block but you can pick along the edges. When it has been raining it can get very muddy and our soil is sticky and can clog wheels quite quickly.
