Pick your own and foraging in Kent

As we delve into summer, enjoying the warm sunshine and fresh air, we've got our sights set a little closer to the ground...the glimpses of bright red through the greenery, bursts of white amongst the shrubs, and pockets of green peeping up at us from the floor can only mean one thing...Kent's beautiful, fresh food is ready to be picked! Abundant, delicious produce is right around every corner, and we couldn't be more excited to get a taste of the county at its best right in the height of the season. Ready to be blown away by the delights you can find right on your doorstep? We've got just the spots for you and the family to fuel up on, from pick your own farms to DIY foraging. They don't call us the Garden of England for nothing!

Pick Your Own

Broomfield Farm

This family run farm is the perfect spot for those looking to get their five-a-day fix. Open on weekends from mid-June to October, you and the family (even the four-legged members!) can visit, collecting an abundance of fresh fruit and veg as you stroll through the scenic land, before ending the afternoon with a sit down for tea and a slice of homemade cake at the White Finch Tea Rooms.

Mockbeggar Farm Shop

For a true farm to fork experience, the Mockbeggar Farm Shop in Medway offers a whole range of flavourful, fresh produce. From strawberries and cherries to plums and rhubarb, they've got just about everything for you to fill those fruit bowls with. In the summer months, be sure to plan a trip over and pick them for yourself, getting back to nature in the best way possible.

Maze Moon

The kiddos will love you for this one...a day of adventure awaits, fit with a space themed maize maze, an alien mini maze, and games a plenty, right here at the Maze Moon in Gillingham. As they spend the day chasing through mazes and solving puzzles, you can stroll through picturesque fields and, from July until the end of August, you can pick your own sunflowers and sweetcorn. Bring the cameras - a truly picturesque day awaits!

Milebush Farm

On the outskirts of Maidstone, in the beautiful Kentish countryside, you can find all of your local produce dreams come true. Here at Milebush Farm, you can dig your own potatoes, pick strawberries, raspberries, apples, plums - the fun carries on right through to pumpkin picking in October!
