This is a great day out, especially if it’s sunny. Our kids absolutely love our family outings to pick our own fruit.

Some farms require pre-booking, no picnics allowed, one way systems and other restrictions, so make sure you check with the farms before you go.

Pick your own isn’t just about strawberries though… you can buy a wide selection of fruit and veg from larger PYO farms such as raspberries, peas, beans, sweetcorn, plums and local produce from their onsite farm shops.

Here’s the low down of local places where you can PYO:
