Pick Your Own at Essington Farm
There’s something truly special about gathering your own fresh produce straight from the field. At Essington Farm, our Pick Your Own (PYO) experience invites you to enjoy the freshest flavours of the season, straight from our family-run farm in South Staffordshire.
A Fresh Experience for the Whole Family
Whether you’re picking plump strawberries on a sunny day or choosing the perfect pumpkin in autumn, PYO at Essington Farm is a fun and memorable day out for all ages. It’s a great way to connect with nature and learn where food comes from.
What Can You Pick?
Our PYO offerings change with the seasons, but here’s what you can usually expect:
- Strawberries – Available from mid-June. Juicy, sweet, and bursting with flavour – perfect for summer snacks, desserts, or jam.
- Pumpkins – October is all about pumpkins! Explore the patch and find your ideal shape, size, or spooky face just in time for Halloween.
- Other Produce – Depending on the year, we may also offer blueberries, plums, raspberries, blackberries, and even sweetcorn – all grown right here on the farm.
When Is It Available?
Our PYO season typically runs from June through October, but availability depends on the weather and crop readiness. We update our social media regularly with opening times, crop status, and ticketing details.
How It Works
Booking Essential to avoiding overcrowding and queuing at peak times and allows us to ensure everyone has good availability of our fruit to pick and has a better experience. A small entry fee applies.
Weigh & Pay – Pick your favourites, then pay by weight at the end.
Don’t Forget – Wear suitable footwear and come prepared for the great British weather!
