Berkshire's Pick Your Own Farms help keep visitors safe as they pick

Picking your own fruit and vegetables with the warmth of the summer sun on your back must be one of life’s most rewarding pleasures.

The produce is often grown for its depth and quality of flavour, it is local, it is fresh: from plot to plate within hours, and most of all it is an enjoyable trip out, especially for families.

Berkshire’s Pick Your Own Farms are part of our rural economy. Whilst one has made the difficult decision to remain closed until next year (although its farm shop remains open), two have been able to open, with specific measures in place to help keep visitors safe. Your visit will help to sustain their business, and in turn Berkshire’s rural economy.

Please, as always, follow government advice, and the specific measures put in place by each of the pick your own farms, to help keep you safe when you are on site. We strongly recommend that you check their websites for details on how they are operating during the current circumstances and/or ring ahead to double check that they are open on the day you intend to visit.
