Find a local pick your own farm here!

Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Wales?  Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Wales, sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name  . The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. Beware of copycat websites (such as pickyourown.farm) ; they just co[pied my website a few years ago, and do not update their information as I do, so theirs are usually out-of-date -and often copied incorrectly! I put dates to indicate when we last received an update from each farm, and I make updates weekly (and whenever I hear from a farm or visitor with new info). See the customer and farmer menus at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!

And if you know of any I missed and want to add them or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

It allows you to rent a single tree for a growing season (March to October).  When you rent a tree, you will get sent a certificate in the post, which details the variety of apple tree you have chosen and also its unique number. Following this, we will send you email updates as the season starts to take shape, as no two seasons are the same. You can then come and visit your tree when it is in blossom (why not bring a picnic) and then again during our opening hours through PYO season (Mid-June) and at harvest, so you can harvest your own crop when they are ready. We will manage your tree to the same high standards, as all of our other trees.  Why not check out our events page and book a date to juice your apples (dates put up in June 2019).  (UPDATED: 21 May 2019, JBS)
