Summer strawberry and raspberry picking tickets will be available as we get closer to the the opening day.
We provide punnets to pick your fruit into. These either hold approximately 1Kg or 3Kg of fruit when full and can be recycled at home after use.
We have a number of different varieties of fruit which are ripe and ready for picking at different times over the summer. You will be advised on arrival the best places to pick. Just follow the map. Staff members will be on hand to help.

Please only pick ripe fruit – it does not ripen when it is removed from the plant and picking under ripe fruit is a waste of our crop and your money! Only pick the fruit you are prepared to pay for. Prices are displayed at the entrance.
Strawberries are best picked via the stalk, when red all over with a small length of stalk still attached. Raspberries should just fall into your hand when gently pulled without their stalk.
Please bring your basket(s) to be weighed. The fruit is charged by weight, per Kg. You pay for all that you pick.
We accept card payments and cash.
We recommend washing your fruit and hulling your strawberries (removing the green calyx on the top of the strawberry) just prior to eating, as the fruit will deteriorate more quickly once hulled and washed. Eat on their own, in a smoothie or in a dessert and enjoy!
We have a shop selling refreshments – hot and cold drinks, ice cream and snacks etc. Also available is our Kemps Farm Jam made from our own fruit.
Portable loos are available on site.
A small children’s play area is available with parental supervision only.
Some animals from our farm are available to see. Please do not feed them as some foods can make them very poorly.
Tractor and trailer rides around the farm are available, subject to government Covid guidelines, for an additional fee
Facebook – please visit our facebook page Horsforthpickyourown – daily updates are posted during the picking season with information about fruit availability, weather conditions etc
Online purchase of tickets is essential so we can limit visitor numbers over the course of a day. This helps with car parking availability and reduces queuing. Tickets must be shown on arrival for admission to the picking fields, either printed out or on your phone.
Tickets will be released in the summer.
We provide wheelbarrows to make it easier for you to carry your selected pumpkin(s) around the fields and back to the shop.
We have a number of different varieties of pumpkins so you can choose which size, colour etc you prefer. The map shows their original location but some people do move them around a bit so they might have moved!

Select the pumpkin(s) you wish.
Please do not drop, throw, sit or stand on the pumpkins – they are actually more delicate than they look.
Size – we charge for the pumpkins depending on their size – from mini munchkins up to Jumbo. A price guide is displayed at the entrance and shop.
We accept card payments and cash.
If you would like to carve your pumpkin at the farm, please purchase a carving kit from the shop and we will direct you to the carving area – subject to Covid restrictions at the time. Or take home to cook and carve at your leisure.
We have a takeaway cafe selling refreshments – hot and cold drinks, ice cream and snacks etc. Also available is our Kemps Farm Jam made from our own fruit.
Parking and toilets are available on site.
A small children’s play area is available with parental supervision only.
There are lots of photo opportunities around the pumpkin fields so don’t forget your camera.
Tractor and trailer rides to the pumpkin field are included in the ticket price on peak days.
