Your Farm Visit
2024 PYO SEASON
Now in its forty-third year, we are delighted to open the gates of Garson Farm once again.
Our dedicated team of farmers work hard year-round to ensure the 155 acres of fields are ready for picking from early June through late October. Pick from delicious fruits, fresh vegetables and even beautiful flowers. Check to see 'What's Picking Today'.
A FARM PASS (or a Pumpkin Pass in October) is required to enter the farm and must be booked ONLINE before visiting.
Farm Location
Garson Farm Pick Your Own (PYO) is located at:
GARSONS
WINTERDOWN ROAD
WEST END, ESHER
SURREY KT10 8LS
The farm entrance is located through Garsons Garden Centre's main car park, follow the directional arrow signs around the car park towards the top left and drive through the farm gate.
We encourage all visitors to drive around the farm, stopping and parking up at each field as you go around.
FARM EXIT
Picked produce is charged per item or weighed (gross weight charged) at the exit till kiosks. Your Farm Pass booking value will be deducted from the total bill, provided the picked produce is equal to or of a higher value than the Farm Pass booking price.
Please pay at the exit kiosks using a debit card, credit card, or mobile contactless. Please note that we do not accept Amex.
Garsons Card members will receive a 10% discount off their produce if their purchases total at least the value of their Farm Pass. This offer is available weekdays, Monday through Friday only, with a valid Garsons Card that must be shown and scanned at the time of purchase.
CROP AVAILABILITY
Crop varieties, like strawberries, are split into three unique seasons; Early, Peak & Late.
During the EARLY season, the crop may not yet be available in abundance or fully developed. In this phase, we may need to reduce the number of Farm Pass visitors or sometimes rest the crop to allow it time to grow or produce more fruit. The warm sunshine helps tremendously, while cooler temperatures slow the process down. Should on the odd occasion we need to close the farm, your farm pass booking will be rescheduled or refunded.
Crop availability will always vary day-to-day depending on past and current weather conditions, which affect the growth and timings of the crop; therefore, we cannot guarantee specific crops will be available on the day of your booking. However, we carefully estimate crop availability as best as we can with our expert team of farmers.
You can check crop availability here, 'What's Picking Today', which is frequently updated.
RAIN OR SHINE
The farm remains open come rain or shine! We love it when the summer rain comes as it helps our crops grow, so come on down with your wellies and a hooded jacket, and have fun picking in the rain.
Please make sure you bring a bottle of water and sunscreen with you on warmer days. Be prepared as the farm can get very muddy or dusty weather dependant. We do not offer any refunds for bookings due to weather conditions.
