Our main plum crop is now ready for picking. There are several varieties to pick including Avalon, Jubilee, Greengage and the much loved Victoria. Our trees are loaded with fruit, so don't miss out on the chance to get yours before they're all gone.
There are still some cherries to pick. The phenomenal cherry crop continues......... Don't miss out!
Picking is now a bit harder, although there are still lots of cherries to be had.The weather and the dreaded wasps have tried their best to ruin our incredible crop, but it won't be beaten that easily. So before they have a chance to do more damage come and get some cherries to keep the summer alive!
We are reliably told that the latest a cherry has been picked in these orchards in living memory is August 22nd. We have beaten that this year. Keep coming to extend that record. Can we make it into September?
The cherries are on our site across the road from the shop. Our friendly shop staff will be more than happy to point you in the correct direction if you are unsure as to where to go. Please call in at the PYO hut for punnets and directions.
Come and get them before they all go.
£5.40/kg

RaspberriesThe best picking for raspberries is across the road from the shop. We've just opened up our new raspberry canes in pots which are offering some wonderful fruit. This will provide many people with some fantastic fruit for their desserts and ice cream.

Our PYO season gets up and running with strawberries, cherries & gooseberries and generally runs through until September without a break so you will always be able to pick something. Here's our guide about what is in season when. ‘Picking your own’ is a great experience – you may be having a party and want to serve fresh strawberries for the dessert, you may want a quantity of raspberries for jam-making or simply want to enjoy spending some time in the cherry orchard picking a rare treat – the Harwell cherry. It’s a particularly popular activity for children – so many of whom don’t know where their food comes from – this is a great way of letting them know!
We have two pick your own sites – behind the farm shop and across the road. If you are not sure where to go then check into the farm shop first where the staff will be happy to give you fruit availability information and directions. If the PYO hut is unattented please follow the instructions on the blackboards. We are unable to accept credit card payments in the PYO hut - cash, or a cheque with a cheque guarantee card please!
Please remember the PYO rules – we know that you are likely to sample just a little of the fruit, but this is not a free lunch! Dogs are not allowed in the pick your own fields.
