Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Greater London and Surrey, England? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Greater London and Surrey, England,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
. The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function)
If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. Beware of copycat websites; they just copied my website a few years ago, and do not update their information as I do, so theirs are usually out-of-date -and often copied incorrectly! I put dates to indicate when we last received an update from each farm,
and I make updates weekly (and whenever I hear from a farm or visitor with new info). See the customer and farmer menus at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
And if you know of any I missed and want to add them or correct the
information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

has just won the
FARMA National Pick Your Own of the Year Award for
2009. Most of our strawberries are now grown on "Table-Tops" (ie at
waist height) which saves all that bending! We grow nearly 20
different fruits and vegetables which are grown exclusively for
Pick-Your-Own between June and October. We pride ourselves on the
quality of our produce, which is "as fresh as it gets"! Crops include
“table-top” strawberries (no bending required), raspberries, beans and
sweetcorn. The farm is set in the beautiful rolling greenbelt
countryside just to the north of Enfield, and yet is easily accessible
from all the surrounding areas. The 2013 season will inevitably be
later than usual, with the first of the strawberries not expected until
mid June at the earliest. The good news might be that we are much less
likely to suffer from frost damage in late spring, as all the crops are
so far behind! Minimum Charge; This will be increasing in 2013 to £3 per
adult/child, which just means that everyone entering the field has to
spend atleast £3 on PYO fruit/veg. Ample Car Parking, Toilets
(including Disabled), Containers Available, Picnic Area, Debit Cards
accepted. Typical crop availability is shown in the chart at right.
(always phone before you go to check availability).

writes on July 26, 2013: "We went to Parkside and it was
brilliant!!!!!! The experience was fantastic! It was my first time and I
was absolutely excited. The farm was very nice, the staff explained
stuff and gave us the tubs. We picked strawberries, beetroot (really
nice sized) courgettes and French beans and broad beans. Three of us
went with a toddler & a baby and the min. purchase was 8 pounds (2 each,
inc the toddler) . I absolutely loved the experience and will deffo
go again(and again), but to a diff farm perhaps. :o) "
