Our PYO season gets up and running with strawberries, then the cherries. 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!
Housekeeping
* You are required to pay for the fruit before eating it.
* Remember the PYO order: pick, pay, eat.
* Please follow the directions given by our staff or signage.
* We patrol the orchards & fields and monitor pickers' behaviour.
* Please do not allow your children, or anyone else in your party, to eat the fruit prior to purchase. We know that you are likely to try a small sample of the fruit, but this is not a free lunch!
* Sorry, no picnics in the orchards or fields.
* Do not allow your children to play with the fruit - we work hard to grow it and don't enjoy seeing it wasted.
* Please follow instructions regarding the use of ladders when picking cherries.
* Dogs are not allowed in the orchards or fields.
* Please be aware that we only accept cash in the PYO hut, so come prepared! However, we can accept credit cards in the shop.
* We reserve the right to close the PYO fields because of bad weather or lack of fruit.
