Pick your own farms are a fun way for children and families to explore how fruit and veg are grown and picked, but more importantly to have fun eating the fruit and veg fresh off the tree or out of the ground. The website below lists all PYO farms in the Southwest together with whats in season. Most PYO farms have a cafe so you can have a cuppa and sample food made from the produce out of their fields. For more info, see the PYO website: http://www.pickyourownfarms.org.uk/Southwest_pyo.php
