🍓 One last chance to Pick Your Own strawberries... 🍓

We’ve got some exciting news! Our strawberry plants have produced enough beautiful fruit for us to open the Pick Your Own fields for one final day on Tuesday 4th August. The PYO will be open 9am until 4pm, no bookings required, £2.50 per person entry

If you’ve been hoping for one last visit to the strawberry fields this summer, now’s your chance to fill a punnet with our delicious homegrown strawberries. ❤️

We’ll see how Tuesday goes, and if there’s still plenty of fruit left to pick, we may also be able to open on Wednesday 5th August. We’ll keep you updated on our social media.

As always, availability depends on the fruit, so please check our latest posts before travelling.

We’d love to welcome you back to the farm for one final taste of summer. 🍓🌿

Shout out to the Stamford Bridge Squirrels! 🐿️

…do people still do shout outs? Or is it just the millennial in me… 😅

Either way, this one deserves it!

Every year, the Stamford Bridge Squirrels come to visit our Pick Your Own fields to learn all about how our fruit grows. This year they completely made our day by sending us this sweet thank you card ❤️

So. Thank you, Stamford Bridge Squirrels, for your lovely card and for being such brilliant visitors. We can’t wait to welcome you back 🍓

(And yes… this card had pride of place in our office!)

The sunshine has arrived… time to get the garden looking its best! ☀️🌸

There’s nothing quite like a summer’s day spent outside, and we’ve got plenty of beautiful locally sourced plants in the Farm Shop to help you make the most of your garden.

From colourful pots to brighten up your patio, to plants ready to add a little something special to your borders, we’ve got lots of seasonal favourites ready to come home with you 🌿

So grab your gardening gloves, enjoy the sunshine, and let’s get those gardens blooming! 💚

Available now in the Farm Shop. Pop in and have a browse — our plants are waiting to help make your garden bloom 💚

Sunday lunch starts long before it reaches your plate… 🥩🌿

This beautiful joint of locally reared beef has been carefully prepared by our Chefs, ready to be slow roasted for tomorrow's Sunday lunch.

We’re proud to serve the same high-quality meat in our Café as we sell in our Farm Shop — sourced from local suppliers, expertly butchered, and chosen because we know it’s something we’d be proud to serve our own families.

Whether you’re joining us for a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings, or picking up a special cut of meat to cook at home, you’ll find the same care and quality behind both.

Our Sunday lunches are served every Sunday in the Café 12pm until 4pm.

Pop in and enjoy a taste of Yorkshire this Sunday 💚

A little Pick Your Own update 🍓🌿

We know lots of you are wondering when our PYO Farm will be opening again, so we wanted to share a little update from the fields.

At the moment, we’re in a bit of a natural lull between crops. Our first strawberry crop has now come to an end, and we’re waiting to see what the second crop brings. At this stage, we’re not sure whether there will be enough fruit for us to open the fields again for picking, but we’ll keep a close eye on the plants over the coming weeks.

As always, we’ll only open when there are plenty of strawberries ready to pick and a good experience to be had — we don’t want anyone travelling to find empty plants! 🍓

Many of our raspberry plants were newly planted this year and need a little more time to establish, so sadly haven’t produced enough fruit this year for us to open them for Pick Your Own.
The good news is that we do have a small amount of delicious, ready-picked raspberries ripening, which we have available in the Farm Shop when there are enough to harvest. 🍇

We know it’s disappointing when the PYO fields aren’t open, but this is all part of growing seasonal produce and farming — sometimes nature gives us a little gap while we wait for the next crop to arrive!

We’ll keep you updated as soon as we know more. Thank you, as always, for your patience and for supporting our farm. 💚
