Pick Your Own (PYO)
There is so much to be gained from picking fresh fruits
and many of us have happy childhood memories of
doing just that. It is a wonderful way for children to get
some fresh air whilst learning and having fun – and
there’s a tasty treat at the end. 500 g punnets are
provided into which you can pick the produce or you
can bring your own containers.
We have the following fruit available for picking starting
in June and throughout the summer months and into
autumn. Please keep checking our Facebook page for
the latest updates on the picking season.
Strawberries - Elsanta variety produces bright red,
large glossy strawberries that are very tasty and nicely
aromatic.
Blackcurrants - For a delicious taste of British
summertime that's full of healthy benefits and purple
goodness, look no further than our home-grown,
number one superfruit, blackcurrants. Varieties include
Ben Sarek, Ben Connan and Ebony which is the
sweetest blackcurrant ever! This outstanding dessert
variety is so exceptionally sweet that it can be eaten
straight from the bush when fully ripe.
Blackcurrants have a high concentration of:
•
anthocyanins
•
polyphenolic substances
•
antioxidants
•
vitamin C - blackcurrants carry four times the
amount of vitamin C as oranges, and double the
amount of antioxidants as blueberries. The benefits
of vitamin C are many. The body uses vitamin C to
metabolize protein and form collagen, which is
essential for skin care and anti-aging.
•
gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)
Many health foods and drinks use these berries. Their
tartness also lends itself to mixing with other fruits,
especially in jams and juices.
Raspberries - Glen Ample is a high yielding mid-
season variety that produces large berries with good
flavour and colour.
Gooseberries - Invicta variety. A vigorous, spreading
bush with large, pale green berries which are good for
both culinary and dessert use.
Redcurrants - Jonkheer van Tets variety. Bright
coloured, redcurrants have a healthy amount of
important antioxidants, known as anthocyanins.
