Home grown Fruit Calendar / picking seasons
Crop seasons are weather dependent, so please note that the 'from' and 'to' months in the chart below are approximate guides only.
You can also call 01733 233270 for up-to-date drop information and listen carefully to the recorded message. Note that this message is altered as soon as the crop situation changes. We therefore always suggest if you are after a particular crop, you call, or check the chart below, before you set out on your journey to us.
We can of course never guarantee a crop, due to weather, nature, the number of customers visiting us and the amount each customer picks.
We sometimes have frozen fruit available to purchase too.
