The Quick family have farmed in Thurloxton, on the foothills of the
Quantocks, for most of the last century, growing wheat, barley and oilseeds, and
running a flock of sheep. Over 30 years ago the Pick Your Own was
started with one acre of strawberries. Since then it has grown
to meet increasing demand and we now produce a wide range of fruit, flowers and
vegetables on 25 acres of rich, red soil.
We have always strived to give our customers the best, that is why the fruit is
grown solely for pick your own, giving you first choice and guaranteeing top
quality produce in the fields.
The farm is laid out on a gentle slope for relaxed picking with a purpose built
shop for an easy check in. You can picnic in a shady area by the stream.
We have toilets, washing facilities and ample car parking space.
Keirles Farm, Thurloxton, Taunton, Somerset. TA2 8RH

Importing one kilogram of out-of-season strawberries from California is the equivalent of keeping a 100 watt light bulb on for eight days.
