McLauchlans of Boxted Pick Your Own Fruit and Vegetable Farm

McLauchlans of Boxted pick your own berry farm

Our season is from early June to mid August. If you wish to be notified when the season starts sign up for our email update service and we will update you regularly on crop news throughout the season.

Although the harvest season is relatively short work is ongoing all year round. The first strawberries are forming and most of the plants have now been strawed. We are awaiting a delivery of pot grown raspberry plants which we will put in a new plantation which should start to crop from next year. The first miniscule broad beans are appearing now and they will start to plump up as soon as they get a rain.

Frozen raspberries and blackcurrants available on the premises if you wish to call in. We are open daily.

Location

The farm is half way down Boxted Straight Road, near Colchester in Essex. We are only ten minutes drive from Colchester North Station, Highwoods and the A12.
