Clur Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I took last week off work to spend some time with my littlies, and decided on Friday to take them to a farm in Wokingham to 'pick your own'. What a fantastic few hours, they (and I) had great fun picking the raspberries and finding the best strawberries and are asking when they can go again. A cheap way to keep them entertained, lots of fresh air and a nice family time....perfect! Shame I'm back to work on Monday, could really do with more time off!!!

Christian Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Was it Gray's farm Clur? I went there years ago! Really good place. My Mum and Dad always took us there when we were little. We ate more than we picked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Oh I was hoping that Grays farm still had PYO own strawberries as I want to take my LO. Didn't feel up to it this week with OH away. Which farm was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutmeg Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 We were there on Wednesday afternoon in the mini heatwave. It is Grays Farm and we picked Strawberries, Raspberries, dug some Carrots and bought some Runner Beans. There is a shop and somewhere to buy a cold drink and ice cream. Plus there is no restriction on how much you can eat as you pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah, it was Gray's Farm. Loved it, will be going back for other goodies I think. I only ever remember going to PYO as a youngster and being put off by the gooseberry thorns - thought I'd break my two in gently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I love Grays PYO Farm too. Last week we got a gigantic cauliflour and I chose one with massive leaves plus scooped up all the leaves others had chopped off and left behind. My chickens dined on free caulflour leaves for 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 We're planning on going sometime this week - weather permitting! My children have always loved going there Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 We called at a fruit farm yesterday ...go through Woore & turn left at the Coopers Arms. We didn't pick our own - we just bought some blackcurrants, raspberries, strawberries & spuds. There are picnic tables there & chickens wandering round. It's a lovely place. I made blackcurrant jelly yesterday. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
