PICK YOUR OWN
Strawberry Fields Forever...
|
|
|
|

Open from May to September, Crockford Bridge Farm
grows more than 20 different crops of fruit and
vegetables on its 75 acres.
The season starts with rhubarb and asparagus and in
June has abundant crops of strawberries and
raspberries that the farm is renowned for.Several
varieties of strawberries are grown consecutively to
ensure summer long supplies, from June to September. The raspberries also have a long cropping
season and are available until the first frosts. 'Picking Your Own' enables you to select the best
quality produce at its peak to ensure its freshness
and high vitamin content. |

| A
Great Day Out |
 |
| Pick your own is a great day out, you can bring your
children along and show them where their food comes
from. It's both fun and educational. |
| A Healthier Diet For Children |
| Recent studies have shown that if children get
involved with fresh food in a fun way, they take an
interest in what they eat and are more likely to try
and enjoy healthy foods such as fruit and
vegetables. |

Growing Methods |
|
| |
Crockford Bridge Farm uses 'integrated crop management', a
system which promotes alternative methods, such as
encouraging natural predators to control the bugs which
attack crops, in place of dependence on agrichemicals like
insecticides and herbicides. |
