<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.lotmead.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lotmead Farm</a>&nbsp;is a personal favourite for picking luscious fruits. It’s a lovely foraging experience with lots of room between rows for picking.



They alternate the opening times of fields too, to ensure they have time to grow in between picks too. Make sure to book your slot&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.lotmead.co.uk/" target="_blank">via the website</a>. We loved the raised plants racks which mean you don’t break your back picking for an hour, and there&#8217;s lots of super-helpful staff on hand to help you forage. The cafe and shop sell great, local food and snacks. So pick up your empty punnett at the gate and go wild.
