Pick Your Own

Pick your Own Guide

The Pick Of The Crop

Generations of kids and their parents have made a visit to West Craigie to pick their own fruit as part of their summer calendar.

Many, many loyal customers come back every year to pick their own fruit, to enjoy fresh, fill their freezers and make jam to use over the winter.

How does it work? It’s easy; we provide you with a basket and direct you to the best field. You pick your fruit, then weigh it and pay. Simple as that!

When’s the fruit in season? It depends on the weather, but generally PYO strawberries start at the end of June and go on into August. Raspberries start mid July till mid August. We also have gooseberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, Victoria plums, and big, beautiful sunflowers. See below for details.

Register for our ‘e-newsletters’ and we’ll keep you up to date with what’s available when.
