Who we are
About the farm
We have been growing soft fruit and vegetables for over 40 years on our 28-acre (about 11 ha) family farm at Gate Helmsley near York, and opened our farm shop and café in 2004. Through the summer and into October we operate as a pick-your-own fruit farm – best known for our table-top strawberries – and in autumn visitors can pick pumpkins. Our farm shop sells our own strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb and other seasonal produce, cakes from our in-house bakery and goods from Yorkshire producers, and our award-winning café cooks with our homegrown crops.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
