Frequently Asked Questions
What is pick your own (PYO)?
Pick your own (PYO) farms allow visitors to harvest fresh fruit, vegetables, or flowers directly from the fields. You pay by weight for what you pick, often at prices lower than supermarkets. It's a fun family activity that ensures maximum freshness and lets you select the best quality produce.
When is pick your own season in the UK?
PYO season runs from May to October, with different crops available at different times. Strawberries peak in June-July, raspberries in July-August, and apples in September-October. Many farms also offer pumpkin picking in October. Check with individual farms for specific crop availability and opening times.
Do I need to bring anything to pick your own farms?
Most PYO farms provide containers for picking, but bringing your own bags or boxes can be helpful. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes suitable for fields. Bring sun protection in summer, and consider bringing hand wipes. Some farms prefer cash payment, so check in advance.
Is pick your own cheaper than buying from shops?
Yes, PYO is typically 30-50% cheaper than supermarket prices for the same quality produce. You're cutting out transportation and retail costs. Plus, you can pick exactly what you want, ensuring perfect ripeness and quality. The freshness means produce lasts longer too.
