Pick your own

Sources of fresh produce

During Summer, farms start overflowing with produce and many welcome visitors picking their own. I was able to combine a trip to Tunbridge Wells (to buy myself a new croquet mallet) with a visit to such a farm in the Garden of England where I found a glut of strawberries. I was also able to ensure that I was not reaping overripe fruit which are low in pectin and not suitable for jam making.

It is really essential to call ahead to confirm the details and find out what fruits and vegetables are ready for picking. For example, I was aware due to bad weather that many crops are about three weeks delayed.
