Now, it is one of the biggest PYO farms in the UK. Garson Farm Pick Your Own consists of 155 acres of fields full of crops, trees and plants. The farm has a dedicated team of farmers who work hard every day of the year to ensure that there are plenty of delicious PYO fruit and vegetables and beautiful flowers, which are available for picking from June all the way through until October. The farm is home to many different wildlife and insect species, which are essential to help the farm grow. We even have special bees to help pollinate the crops.
