Hello berry pickers!
2026 berry season is now in fully flow with really fabulous quantities of sweet strawberries
at the moment. Raspberries and gooseberries also easy picking.
Check Fruit for more details on what’s ready when.
A generally good forecast for this first week in July makes now a perfect time to visit.
We will be busy on sunny days but we have lots of parking and are open
until 7pm every night if you want to avoid the crowds.
We grow our berries outside, no polytunnels, just open air sunshine & rain.
This means a shorter Scottish season of extra sweet and juicy fruit.
The cafe also open with fresh scones, cakes, brownies, ice-cream,
home-made berry juices, hot drinks and filled rolls.
Open 7 days, 10am till 7pm (cafe 11am - 4pm)

Open 7 days, 10am till 7pm. Check the weather for our area (Maxton) before you visit.
It can often be dry with us when raining further west.
We have lovely sunsets looking out over the Tweed valley towards the Eildon Hills and Smailholm Tower.Card/contactless payments are easiest for us
but we do accept cash both in fruit field and cafe.Lots of picnic tables around the cafe area. Straw bales for playing on all around.
The fields are fairly flat for wheelchairs, pushchairs and elderly visitors.
A few chairs are dotted around the berries to rest your legs
or feel free to come and hang out at the cafe while others pick.Toilets & baby changing can be found down by the cafe.
No steps but a bit of gravel around them.An outside drinking water tap is also down by the cafe.
Dogs very welcome in the car park & picnic areas, just not in amongst the fruit.
They are welcome shelter in our tent while you pick. Water bowl & outside tap by cafe.
Lovely quiet back roads all around for walking.We do our best to avoid excess plastic.
You can bring along any basket you like to pick into, find the weighing station as you enter our tent,
stick on the weight and we’ll deduct this at the till.All cafe packaging is Vegeware which I recycle right here on the farm,
including the vege ‘plastic’ juice cups. Happy/busy compost heap!Our eggs come from Sandystones, another local organic farm.
Flour is from Shipton Mill organic millers.
I make all the cordial and ice lollies from our own berries - fresh & delicious.
I did used to make my own ice-cream but couldn’t keep up with demand.
Now it’s from Grahams Dairy.
