Pick your own fruits farm around Dublin?

Ning

Hi, does anyone know any pick your own fruits farms around Dublin? I'm interested in getting of strawberries/blueberries/apples.

Thanks.

I've never ficked fruit , but there's one at the top of Ballychorus Road (near Palmers (Shankill/Kilternan)) here. Cherries, Strawberries, Raspberries, as far as I remember.

On the north side there's Jones' Fruit Farm in Donabate.

Thanks for the replies. The title is obviously "pick" not "fick" but I cannot edit it to fix the typo

We get the point. I was just being overly pedantic.

If you go back to your original post, click Edit, then Go Advanced, you'll get the option to edit the title and stop people taking the urine :)

Can you tell me where this is? Dying to make my own raspberry jam.

If you go north of Swords on the M1, I think it's the 2nd roundabout (it's well signposted)take the Donabate exit. The fruit farm isn't far along the road on the right hand side.

Beauty. That's the bit I was looking for. Thanks.

Dont be at yourself

I used to go to to Jones' by Donabate all the time as a kid, I love the place!

I did not manage to find it. I've seen a "Jones Garden Center" on the road to Donabate, is it related to the farm?

Yes I think it's attached - actually I just googled it and it IS attached. What a pity you didn't go in

How does it work? Do you pay by weight for what you pick? Is it cheap?

Dizzyblonde

You pay by the weight but I'm not sure what it costs - you should phone ahead and find out.

Dont be at yourself

Note also that they don't weigh you before and after, so if a strawberry or two happen to fall into your open mouth, nobody will be any the wiser!

Anybody know any places still doing this? North Dublin preferably. Used to do it loads in Englad but it doesnt seem to be as popular here.

Thanks
