    Hi Dara

    I've been to one in Kilmacanogue, Wicklow.
    It's just off the N11, link here http://www.wicklowraspberries.com/raspberries.html

    It's the only one I'm aware of but maybe some other posters may know of more.

    Regards,
    Lj.

    There's Lambert's fruit farm in Rathfarnham, though I've never been so I can't say what it's like http://www.irelandlookup.com/1733865/Fruit_Growers/Dublin/Lamberts_Fruit_Farm/.aspx

    Brought the kids to Lamberts last week to pick strawberries. They loved it. You can get a bit carried away and pick too much so decide what you need before you go. If you want raspberries you need to be there on Saturday mornings at 10am sharp. I think they have loganberries and tayberries too.

    Are Lambs fruit farms still going out near Lusk? Used to be able to pick your own out there. Or Jones Fruit Farm near Donabate?

    Lambs!! your showing your age there, think most of it is houses now. Jones moved from fruit farming into the garden centre business full time.
