PICK YOUR OWN CHERRIES

PICK YOUR OWN

During the fruit picking season which runs from early November to mid/end January visitors can pick their own cherries. We would like you to have the best cherry picking experience so depending on fruit availability, there will be days when the fruit is more available than others. This is linked to the number of visitors and the natural process of fruit ripening!

Picking information

We are a working farm.  It is important to wear appropriate footwear. On hot days bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. On cold and wet days, bring a rain jacket or an umbrella. 

Our cherry trees are maintained at a height that allows for easy access to the fruit, there are ladders to use for the higher fruit.

​

Buckets are provided for the cherries you pick which are then weighed and placed in a bag for you to take home.

Cherries do not ripen once they have been picked from the tree.  The stem should be left on the cherry when it is picked from the tree - this keeps the fruit fresh for longer.

​

To get a longer shelf life out of your cherries at home, ensure they are dry when placed in the fridge. Keep your cherries in an open container. This airflow helps keep your cherries fresh for longer. Remove any cherries with blemishes as they can spoil the other cherries.
