If you are yet to experience pick your own, make sure you arrive prepared. Here are some helpful tips to make your fruit picking experience more enjoyable:

- Dress prepared. Pack some wellies as farms can get wet and muddy, and wear clothes that are susceptible to fruit splatters.
- Pick twice as much fruit as you need as most venues have a strict no eating in the patch rule.
- Give your fruit a good wash at the washing station before tucking into the produce.
- Bring along a container and a sunny disposition.
