What this site is
PickingHours is a free guide to pick-your-own farms. Using it costs nothing and requires no account. By using it you accept what is on this page.
We are not the farms
Every farm listed here is an independent business with no connection to this site. We do not own them, speak for them, take bookings for them or hold trees for anyone. Ring the farm before you travel — every listing carries the number.
Nothing on this site is a contract or an offer on a farm’s behalf. Opening times, prices and what is in the field are the farm’s to set and to change.
Accuracy, and its limits
Listings are checked carefully and each one carries the date it was last read, but a seasonal business changes faster than any guide. This information is provided as it stands, with no guarantee that it is complete or current, and we are not liable for a wasted journey, a sold-out field or a gate that was shut.
That is not an excuse for getting it wrong. If something here is out of date, tell us at hello@pickinghours.com and it will be corrected. There is more on how listings are made on the how we check page.
Visiting a farm is your own business
Working farms have uneven ground, machinery, livestock and sharp tools. You go at your own risk and on the farm’s terms, and any question of safety, insurance or liability is between you and them.
Links out
We link to farms’ own websites and social pages so you can check for yourself. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for what is on them.
Advertising
Listing is free and cannot be bought. No farm has paid to appear here, to appear higher up, or to have anything said about it, and none ever will — that is the whole value of the thing.
The site carries advertising from third parties, which is what pays for it. Those adverts are not endorsements and have no bearing on what is listed or what is said about it. How that works, and what data it involves, is on the privacy page.
Our words and pictures
The writing, the research and the design of this site are ours. Please do not republish them wholesale. Quoting a line with a link back is welcome and always has been.
Farm names, logos and anything we have quoted from a farm belong to the farm.
Changes
These terms may change; the date at the top of this page is when they last did. They are governed by the law of England and Wales.
