YES!
PYO'ing is not only great fun but by far the most economical way of picking the freshest Organic Blueberries money can buy!
We open in July & August for picking, exact dates come nearer the time as seasons always vary a bit. Imagine roughly the second week of July to start and through to the end of August.
"NEWS FLASH! 2023 Season is now unfortunately closed for 2023...It's been a tough season but we are just about in one piece and will be preparing for the next very soon."
Because it's a short season and it is a popular thing to do, we operate a booking system so that we can make sure the farm doesn't get too overcrowded and the car park not too congested. This booking system really helps to make sure the farm has an enjoyable busy feel as opposed to being too busy at peak times, so much more fun for everyone!
And yes, if you haven't been before then refresh yourself after your PYO'ing with some organic fair-trade Coffee and one of Mrs B's cakes!
For more info on this side of things, click here / on the Bros Farm Cafe & Flowers above!
The booking system comes online around mid-June...
Lots of pictures below of what it is like to come and PYO here, you can expect a warm welcome and an enjoyable experience for young & old :)

PYO FAQ's
- Can we bring our own containers?
- Yes absolutely, we love it when people do this and weigh them before you pick so you aren't paying for the weight of them - However, no sweat if you don't as we provide cardboard punnets for all PYO'ers too :)
- Can we bring our Dog?
- Dogs are not allowed into the PYO field, however dogs on leads can accompany someone in the flower field for a coffee
- Do you sell Blueberries we can just buy and not PYO?
- Yes, ready-picked Blueberries are available on the counter in 500g boxes so if you just wanted to swing by and pick some up then feel free to do so, we also freeze loads too which are available all year round :)
- Are your Blueberries Organic?
- Absolutely, we are Soil Association certified and the Blueberries have always been farmed organically since 1957! Read more on the HISTORY page:)
- How much do we have to pick?
- There is a 1kg minimum pick for each booking, all the details on this on the booking page
Are there any discounts for larger picks?
- Yes indeed, we love when people come to do big freezer picks and as such there are discounts for 5kg+ and 10kg+ per pick
- Do we need to book online?
- Yes, booking is essential for the PYO'ing please - if you turn up and haven't booked and there is space then of course you are welcome to PYO, however we do get fully booked a lot and have to prioritise booker inners and sometimes have to turn people away so yes, booking is certainly recommended
- What happens if I need to change my PYO booking?
- No worries, just reply to your booking confirmation email and we will sort it out :)
- Do we need to book just to visit the Cafe?
- No need to book if you are just visiting the cafe & flower field during opening times :)
How much per Kg for PYO & is there a booking fee?
- Our PYO price is the same as last year @ £9.75/kg, there is no booking fee, you just pay for your first kg in advance which is taken off your weigh-in at the till on the day.
