When in season we have more than 11 acres of raspberries, gooseberries, plums and blackcurrants.

The Farms fruit corner - which has been
lovingly planted, pruned, prepared and
trimmed over the last 12 months - is
ready for the public, weather permitting,
from mid June and open to the counties
fruitiest pickers. With several tons of fruit
set to be picked between June and the
end of September.

We grow varieties of blackcurrants and summer variety of raspberries are available throughout the summer and the ‘Autumn Bliss’ raspberries are ready for PYO early
August and Plums follow closely behind
and ready to pick by early September.

Richard Pelly, Wakefield’s Farm Manager, said:
“This is a huge time of year for us and one we work towards all year round - to make sure our fruit is ripe, ready and in perfect condition by June.”

”Much of our winter was dedicated to pruning raspberry canes and then training them to grow in rows, using a mixture of string and wire.

Throughout the summer we will lightly prune our plum trees, which we planted in 1985.”
