In my yoof, I picked strawberries (local)for the pocket money, unlike some of the city visitors who made a week of it, bringing tents and sleeping bags etc. It was fresh air done it. An adventure for the kids too.0

JackieO - where would you recommend for cherry picking in Kent? I would like to take the little one there for a day out in August, I'm sure she'll love being lifted up to pick them.
The last time I did it was in north Oxfordshire, en-route to the Cotswolds.
It's 8am now so time to get a few packs from Aldi.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

All the PYO places in my area have all packed up over the last few years.
All killed off by the cheap all year round products in the supermarkets.0 -
Earlier you would always get better prices than the supermarket prices and that would be reasonable. Nowadays Pick Your Own Fruit is unfortunately seen as an activity and you will pay more based on that. However, it can be a nice activity for your family and children.0

Having spent many weeks strawberry picking as a youngster, there is no way I would pay more for PYO than for supermarket fruit.0

We have a brilliant farm shop that has PYO strawberries and raspberries. I think they are similar to supermarket prices but the taste is divine, much better than any supermarket produce. The raspberries in the height of the season are amazing and we pick tons for the freezer.
As an added bonus there is a cafe that does brilliant food.0 -
I am going to do some PYO this week. Mid-June, I found some brambles close by with green fruit on it, which I was unsure of but decided were raspberries when they turned a dark pink. They are now becoming black, so I was wrong! Price = free.
It's just as well that blackberries taste as good as raspberriesValue-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

If they're anywhere near a main road or a built up area I'd be very wary of eating them. Take care!0 -
