Pick-Your-Own & Pumpkin Patches in Reading

There's not much in the way of pick-your-own right in Reading, but out at Tolhurst Organic Farm Shop, home to Lin's Veg Shed, you can wander the fields and see organic veg growing before picking your own produce. It's a working farm rather than a polished attraction, with picking from £9, dogs welcome, parking on site and food available if you don't fancy bringing a picnic. It suits a slower morning more than a quick dash round, since seasonal farm events bring in children's activities alongside the picking. There's space for picnics if you want to make a day of it, and school visits run too, so it's worth going on a weekday if you want it quieter. With just one option this close to Reading, it's the one to build a trip around rather than one of several to compare.
