In recent years we have invested heavily into producing strawberries on a ‘Table-Top System’, which means you can pick without bending down! The plants are grown in bags filled with coconut coir, and using different varieties and techniques, we can spread the harvest across the whole summer!
We crop the strawberries for two years, and when the plants finish producing, the coir is emptied onto our fields and incorporated into the soil, and we donate the plants to local schools!
We also have areas of potted raspberries and blackberries, which we grow in coir (coconut fibres) and replant on a three-year cycle using unique long cane material, helping to give a much better spread for our PYO’ers to harvest, reduce soil-borne diseases and stop the soil from being degraded every time we replant!
