We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone at any time, and also to ask anyone to leave, who is disrespectful to our staff and other customers or exhibits any kind of inappropriate behaviour.
Please remember, this is a small family run business and we will not tolerate the presence of anyone who’s clear intention is to visit purely to wander and eat fruit without paying for it.
- CARE IS KEY!
- Soft fruit is delicate and can bruise easily. Bruised fruit will not last as long once picked, so a gentle hand is a must.
- Before picking take care to check that each berry is ripe. If the berry is not perfect, please leave it attached to the plant for someone else to pick. DO NOT pick fruit and throw it on the floor.
- Hold the fruit by the stem just above the leaves and give a gentle pull. The fruit should come away with ease when ripe.
- Don’t forget to place your fruit carefully into the basket to avoid bruising.
- For storage cold is gold!! Fruit should be stored in the fridge as soon as possible once picked.
