Pick Your Own FAQs

Do I need to book for Fruit Picking at Brocksbushes Farm Shop?
Yes – we carefully manage the amount of slots we release to ensure we have enough ripe fruit. This means there is enough for everyone who has booked. If you turn up without a booking, and we are already fully booked, we will deny entry.
Can we eat the fruit while in the fields at Brocksbushes Farm Shop?
Have a taste, but do not waste! We put a huge amount of time, effort and resources into growing the fruit, please respect our small business by paying for the fruit before you eat it. Anyone caught consuming large quantities before paying (or picking then dropping fruit) will be charged accordingly then ejected from the premises.
What is the best month to come strawberry picking at Brocksbushes Farm Shop?
Typically in the North East, strawberries will become ready around mid-June and will be available until mid-late August, with July being peak season.
What time are the fruit fields at Brocksbushes open until?
When we are open for picking you must have a booked timed slot. There is no time allowance once you're in the fields, apart from our closing hours which is 6:00pm (4pm on Sundays)
Are the fields at Brocksbushes wheelchair / pushchair friendly?
As we are a working farm there is uneven ground (including hills) which may be slippy, most of the paths are grass and between the rows may be strawed. For pushchairs, we recommend leaving them at the end of the rows while you pick. For those with accessibility needs, we would recommend visiting when the table top strawberries are open. They are raised off the ground – perfect for those in a wheelchair or unable to bend over. We would also recommend trying the bush fruits & raspberries, as they are further off the ground.
