Pick Your Own Fruit

PICK YOUR OWN OPEN once fruit is ripe    TUESDAY - SUNDAY 10 - 5.30pm

Our PYO fruit will open  early June  we hope in time for the Diamond Jubilee Tea party  with Age UK on  Tues June 5th  -  ( see EVENTS PAGE FOR DETAILS)

Watch this space to find out exactly when!  The cold and wet weather  have not provided ideal conditions for the strawberries  but the Christine variety under the fleece is now showing some signs of ripening 

Last year, we started early and  had magnificent Strawberries, Gooseberries, Black currants Red currants and  Raspberries  

 With more Gooseberries this year and more strawberries we are looking forward to a bumper crop  provided that we get some sun now that we have more than our share of April showers! I have frozen masses of fruit for the year's Jam supply and have lots to sell if you want to contact Sandra to buy some 

NEW THIS YEAR is Pick Your Own BROAD BEANS and POTATOES. will keep you posted on when ripe. 

Thanks to all our customers and visitors, 2011 was the best season so far for us. We  welcomed many pickers from many nationalities and ages in groups,  families and individuals.

 WE are looking forward to welcoming again lots of school groups who find us a good  venue for their school outing - such excitement  at picking their own strawberries. All  our groups have behaved really well and treated the field and fruit with great respect. 

We have enjoyed visits from Older people from residential homes and special needs groups.  We have offered trailer rides and Jam making demonstrations and guided walks around the fruit field.  Our senses have been excited!!  The scheme LET NATURE FEED YOUR SENSES enables us to have these groups  no charge. Get in touch with Sandra to book this year Our first group in May is Action Deafness.

We have also held some super birthday parties with pizza making and picking fruit being highlights along with trailer rides. WE have a new Party leaflet for Party enquiries

WE have recently featured on BBC RADIO LEICESTER  with live radio Car interviews and their Sunday Am programme Clueless

We'll keep you posted with all  our FRUITY news here throughout the season.
