Picking Instructions
The fruit you are able to pick is the saskatoon fruit - it’s unusual - we are the only UK growers. There are lots of tips and recipes on Google with suggestions on how to use the fruit but you can eat it raw as well!
We will supply punnets if needed (look for the trailer!), but we encourage you to bring your own tubs if possible your own tubs. The best fruit is often hidden within the plants and aren't always obvious so have a good look deep into the plant, don't be afraid to plant the plants to have a look!ce plastic usage.
The site is unmanned; feel free to roam the site at your leisure and pick what you find! There may be some honeyberries left so have a good look around and enjoy!
