Thank you All!

The fruit field and cafe are now closed for the season.
We will be back again next summer from late June/early July.
Fingers crossed for a warmer spring to make sure our berries are happier.

It’s been a testing berry season however you, our trusty customers have arrived come rain or shine.
The berries tried their best despite the cold, wet spring and early summer
producing very low yeilds - on the plus side, this meant fruit wastage was also low.

As an outdoor fruit farm, our berries are ready in the natural Scottish season of
July & August. We have no polytunnels, you have no need to book ahead,
we don’t charge any parking or entry fees and during our season
we’re open 7 days, 10am till 7pm.
There’s a huge grass car park, picnic area, a cafe (open till 4pm) and
dogs are welcome in car park (not amongst the berries though)
with plenty of quiet walks along back roads all around.

Thanks to all of you who have already shown such understanding this summer,
we will remain optimistic and very much welcome visitors as ever.

We’ve been growing berries here at Rutherford since
the 1960s when Harriet’s grandfather planted the first
few strawberries and raspberries to supply a local jam factory.

Since then, we’ve grown to become the largest pick your own berry farm in the south of Scotland and one of the few remaining outdoor fruit farms. No polytunnels, just fresh air and Scottish sunshine to ripen our berries.

We look forward to welcoming you here in 2024.

Alistair & Harriet Busby
