Who we are
About the farm
We, the Quick family, have farmed at Thurloxton in Somerset, between Taunton and Bridgwater, for nearly a century, growing the original 70-acre mixed farm into today's diversified 500 acres (approx. 202 ha). We started our Pick Your Own in 1973 with one acre of strawberries; today we grow strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, loganberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and blackberries solely for picking on a 25-acre (approx. 10 ha) field, plus over two acres of pumpkins for Halloween. We also grow wheat, oilseed rape, peas, maize and sunflowers – sowing autumn crops with zero-till regenerative methods – and keep around 200 sheep; a 2020 carbon audit showed us to be carbon negative. In October we open our pumpkin patch with a carving barn; our hut serves local ice cream and refreshments.

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.
