Pick-Your-Own & Pumpkin Patches in Leeds

Pumpkin picking here means a trip out rather than a walk from the centre. Bert's Barrow is out on the edge of Leeds, a patch where you pick your own straight from the field, open from the 2nd of October, with food on site if you don't fancy packing snacks. Fancy something further, there's a drive out to Thirsk for Fruity Berry Fruit Farm, where you'll find strawberries off raised guttering plus gooseberries and blackcurrants from the field, and a grass spot to sit and eat what you've picked. For pumpkins, Bert's Barrow is the closer bet and it's simple: pick, pay, go. If you're after a proper farm morning with more to do, Fruity Berry is worth the longer trip, it's pushchair and wheelchair friendly with a picnic area, so toddlers and grandparents can all join in. Wrap up warm either way, and check what's actually ripe before you go, pumpkin season and soft fruit season don't overlap for long.
