What our customers say

Absolutely love the fruit farm! We regularly visit each year and have such fun picking our own fruit. The children love it and it’s a wonderful experience.

Lots of absolutely gorgeous strawberries, and very friendly staff all around. They are, without doubt, the most delicious strawberries either of us has ever had before, and we’ll definitely be going back - wonderful experience!

This place is great, so much fruit to pick! We always go for the strawberries .. but the raspberries and gooseberries are also great.

Great addition of a horse box coffee cart in the parking area, which serves ice lollies and drinks made with the fruit from the farm; these should not be missed!

(Staff) was incredibly helpful, highlighting the differences between different types of strawberries and showing us the best spots to pick from. The strawberries were delicious and in my opinion fairly priced. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing place to go strawberry picking and raspberry picking. 5* friendly family business. We go every year. It’s a must do trip!

I've picked strawberries and raspberries here most years for about 15 years. It's always a pleasure to visit this family-owned farm and pick fresh fruit. The staff are always helpful ... and friendly.
