Pick Your Own Raspberries – Closed – Sign up to get a notification about our PYO day in 2023 below.
We are opening for pick your own raspberries this weekend – 23rd and 24th of October 2021.
We have fields of late Autumn raspberries that we do not want to see wasted and are perfect for a family pick. The fields will have been picked during the season but there will still be plenty for picking, there will be some bad raspberries to avoid but most will be fresh and juicy.
You can bring your own containers or use our provided punnets. We will need to weigh your own containers.
You will need to book a time slot online. Time slots have limited numbers and you will need to arrive during your time slot.
Costs: You will need to pay £4 in advance per adult, this is your time slot and will cover the cost of your first punnet. You will then be able to pick as many punnets as you want for just £1 or £2 per punnet depending on size. Each large punnet contains approximately 600g – A lot of raspberries!
These additional punnets will be paid for on the day. We will be able to take cash and card payment. Bringing children is welcome and they do not need an advanced punnet booking.
The field is completely outside in the open and muddy so you must be ready for the elements. Please wear appropriate footwear.
If there is adverse weather conditions we will have to refund and cancel. Heavy winds, hard rain or frost between now and the weekend could remove the crop.
- You will need to book a time slot online. Time slots have limited numbers.
- You will be required to hand sanitise before going into the field.
- If you touch any fruit you must pick it and place it in the punnet or discard on the ground.
- A further briefing will be provided before being allowed to pick.

Looking for a new environmentally friendly way of mulching your garden?
Try cobnut mulch – a sustainable and attractive base layer for your garden and landscaping projects. The mulch is also an attractive way of filling the bases of pots.
Our new cobnut cracking operation means we are now producing more of this wonderful by-product. By purchasing cobnut shells for your project you will be helping the heritage cobnut sector to continue and also will be using an environmentally sustainable product for your garden.
Our Cobnut Mulch was used at the REEP’s Anglo-Moroccan Garden Project at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The REEP garden won a Bronze in the Discovery – Regional Winners.
Useful Information
In the photos above we found that 15kg of cobnut mulch comfortably covers 1 meter squared. A thinner layer would be possible with less mulch.
Some nut kernel may remain in the shell mix. Under no circumstances should these be eaten. Please be aware of this when buying – Usually any left over kernels will will biodegrade or get eaten by animals. You may want to be aware of this for the purposes of pets, pests and planning.
