Pick your own strawberries and more

Summer at Tibbs Farm is the perfect time for families to enjoy the fun of picking their own fruit in the Sussex countryside.

 

Our "pick your own" season includes strawberries, raspberries, and lots more, offering a hands-on experience that’s ideal for kids to learn about where their food comes from.

 

With open fields to explore and plenty of delicious fruit to taste, our farm makes for a memorable day out filled with fresh flavours and family fun.​​​

Dogs on leads are welcome, but not in the fruit patches.

PYO fruit starts on the 31st of May

Strawberries and gooseberries mark the start of the soft fruit season with a whole host of delicious summer fruits to follow from later June.

Opening times

Tuesday to Sunday: 9am - 4pm

Monday: closed

Pick your own + ready picked fruit

Check out the fruit icons below for a full list of what we grow, along with details about each variety. Every season is unique, and it can be hard to predict exactly when each fruit will ripen. To make it easier, we use a traffic light ripeness system to help you follow the season’s progress. Our main PYO season typically runs from mid-June to the end of August, though some fruits are only at their peak for a few short weeks each year.

​

If you’d rather skip the picking, our farm stall offers freshly harvested fruit daily.

It’s a simple, fun way to enjoy the outdoors and experience healthy real food at its source.
