Holmesfield..............

Have any places opened up yet? Does anyone know?

I know there's one at Ecclesfield.

Ecclesfield isn't growing this year :(

Barnsley market at 1pm when England are playing, they virtually give fruit away, 5 punnets for a quid, 2 melons for a quid, pineapples 50p

whirlow are open (it seems not in the week tho)

Anymore idea Preferably near Gleadless end of town/Mosborough towards Worksop/Sherwood Forest. Have looked on website someone mentioned but it hasn't been updated since 2009

I've heard the seasons late due to the weather, definately phone before going I would say.

i dont know if ecclesfield pyo is going yet as i pasted the field this morning

There's a grain crop in there, no Strawberries :(

too right i whent pasted it this morning,and fields are full off grain.i think the farmer as sold them strawberry fields.as some of that land has changed hands.as the owner as died so some as been split up..as we know the farmers down their..i think it belongs to a farmer out stocksbridge way...he did live by the fly-over up chap

Could it be to do with crop rotation??

I bought some at the spar shop near me yesterday for £2, had to throw the rest of them away today- all gone mouldy:rant::rant:

John..

He had been there for years previously without a break, will more than likely go to Whirlow Farm over the next couple of weeks.

Are many open in the week? Does anyone have the postcodes/names of the places?

Ive had a quick look online but see many. and that pickyourown site doesnt seem to have been updated this year

If you find anywhere please let me know!

Holmesfield..............

I used to love going there as a youth :cool:

Rang the one at Holmesfield Rd, Dronfield Woodhouse, answerphone says open 10-6 today (Fri 2/7), offering PYO strawbs at £1.20/lb, PYO gooseberries at £1.10/lb and rhubarb too.

I used to love going to the Bootsale at Holmesfield, the grass was so soft, it was like walking on a carpet with three layers of underlay:P

But then the idiots that just had to park on the road made it dangerous, it was closed down after a juggernaught couldn't get through properly and damaged about six cars!!...



John..

i would like to take my daughter strawberry picking!

Been to Pearsons Farm this morning (the one over Dronfield Woodhouse/ Holmesfield way), picked strawberries. He has a list of other stuff he does (PYO) and the rough times of year- I plan to go back for peas soon :love:

been today no strawberries :(
lots of goose berries rasberries and other stuff tho

some places aren't bothering doing PYO because of the cost of making the site safe and public liability insurance. Got some today from Just Natural on Crookes, 2 punnets for a quid, not worth the petrol to go PYO at those prices :)
