HOW WE GROW

Our strawberries are produced 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, they are donated to the local community. Our strawberry plants have all been refreshed for the 2025 season!

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!

POLYTUNNELS

Why do we use tunnels? Polytunnels are vital in creating the optimum growing conditions for your favourite fruits. They protect our crops from frosts and cold weather, which slow down fruit development, AND they save the plants and fruits from rain, which can spread disease and damages the soft skins of our strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. But, most of all, it means we can pick in the rain without getting wet!
