Silvan Blackberries
Silvan blackberries will be ready for picking in mid-June. The berries are large, slightly firm with an excellent flavour.
Pax Gooseberries
In addition to the traditional green gooseberries, we have this dark red dessert flavoured Pax variety. Very sweet and easy to pick. NO THORNS! Both varieties are difficult to find in the shops and are wonderful in pies, especially good when made into a compote or, better still, a fool.
Invicta Gooseberries
Traditional green gooseberries come from the heavy cropping, sweet Invicta. Makes a lovely fool.
Glen Ample Raspberries
An exceptional, high-yielding raspberry variety that produces a heavy crop between late June and late July.
The large, deep red berries hold well without spoiling and the spine free canes make easy picking. The succulent berries are excellent eaten fresh or from frozen.
Elsanta Strawberries
England’s most popular strawberry variety.
Superb fruit quality with good shelf life.
Medium to large orange-red.
Mid-season.
Black Butte Blackberries
Unlike the traditional roadside bramble of Yesteryear, the current vogue has been to create intense flavour, early ripening and a MASSIVE increase in berry weight. BLACK BUTTE can grow to over 50mm long, making picking a simple task. We hope you enjoy this part of your visit!
Ben Connan Blackcurrants

Blackcurrant 'Ben Connan' is early cropping, from the beginning of July, and continues to produce fruit over a long cropping period.
Alice Strawberries

Strong flavour with high sweet/sugar.
