Next time you spend money at small farm shops and markets, you’ll be getting more than good food.
You’ll be supporting small businesses and specialised producers who are dedicated to keeping local food production and traditions healthy. (If you’re one of those and you’d like an outlet, call us.)
This way of shopping and selling also means cutting down on those food miles and helps more farmers stay on the land and manage the natural landscape for the future.
And there you were, thinking you’d just bought a tasty home-made beef steak pie!
Generations of kids and their parents have made a visit to West Craigie to pick their own fruit a 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.
We reserve the right to weigh you after picking fruit!
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.
Register for our ‘e-newsletters’ and we’ll keep you up to date with what’s available when.
Why not plan to make a day of your visit? Do our Nature Detective Trail, have lunch in our café and then pick your own fruit
Picked too much fruit? Homemade jam is easy to make and tastes so much better than supermarket stuff! We’ll happily give you some tips on jam making! Or just freeze your fruit and use it through the winter.
NEW for this season – we’ve planted lots of vegetables which will be available for PYO. Keep an eye on this section to keep up to date with what’s coming up and when it’s ready.
