We provide wheelbarrows to make it easier for you to carry your selected pumpkin(s) around the fields and back to the shop.
We have a number of different varieties of pumpkins so you can choose which size, colour etc you prefer. The map shows their original location but some people do move them around a bit so they might have moved!
Select the pumpkin(s) you wish.
Please do not drop, throw, sit or stand on the pumpkins – they are actually more delicate than they look.
Size – we charge for the pumpkins depending on their size – from mini munchkins up to Jumbo. A price guide is displayed at the entrance and shop.
We accept card payments and cash.
Carving kits are available to purchase.
We have a small shop selling refreshments – hot and cold drinks, ice cream and snacks etc. Also available is our Kemps Farm Jam made from our own fruit.
Sorry no toilet facilities.
There are photo opportunities around the picking fields so don't forget your camera.
Some animals from our farm are available to see in the adjacent fields - look out for our free range turkeys. Please do not feed the animals as some foods can make them very poorly.
Facebook - please visit our facebook page kemps.farm - regular updates are posted during the picking season with information about fruit availability, weather conditions etc. A good place to check before setting off.
Currently you do NOT have to book to visit the PYO in Barton-le-Street, Malton. Please check our opening times before turning up.
If you wish to go to our other farm, Horsforth pick your own in Leeds, tickets are required click here to go to the Horsforth page for details.
We provide punnets to pick your fruit into. These either hold approximately 1Kg or 3Kg of fruit when full and can be recycled at home after use.
We have a number of different varieties of fruit which are ripe and ready for picking at different times over the summer. You will be advised on arrival the best places to pick. Just follow the map. Staff members will be on hand to help.
Please only pick ripe fruit – it does not ripen when it is removed from the plant and picking under ripe fruit is a waste of our crop and your money! Only pick the fruit you are prepared to pay for. Prices are displayed at the entrance.
Strawberries are best picked via the stalk, when red all over with a small length of stalk still attached. Raspberries should just fall into your hand when gently pulled without their stalk.
Please bring your basket(s) to be weighed. The fruit is charged by weight, per Kg. You pay for all that you pick.
We accept card payments and cash.
We recommend washing your fruit and hulling your strawberries (removing the green calyx on the top of the strawberry) just prior to eating, as the fruit will deteriorate more quickly once hulled and washed. Eat on their own, in a smoothie or in a dessert and enjoy!
