Pick Your Own

There is something particularly enthralling and delicious about fruit and vegetables picked by your own fair hand. Fruit picking is a simple way to immerse ourselves in nature and enjoy the beautiful bounty mother nature has on offer. A visit to a local fruit farm can give everyone an energetic but relaxing day out. When fruit farms often have a wide range of activities on offer and some with an opportunity to camp, a visit to a fruit farm is well worth working into your summer itinerary.
