REASONS TO PICK-YOUR-OWN

Is there anything as delicious as a berry just picked straight off the bush and eaten in the open air?

It’s fruit picking season which means the countryside is full of pick-your-own farms inviting us to turn up and take home our fill of vitamin packed berries and soft fruits.

July means cherries, gooseberries and blueberries and raspberries aplenty. Picking them yourself makes for fun family day out and you have all that healthy booty to take home. What’s not to like?

Check out the pickyourownfarms.org.uk website to find your nearest PYO fruit farm and get tips on what to do with your treasures when you get them home.
