McCallums Farm Shop, Finningley, DN9 3NT
Update 30th May 2020 – Facebook
“It’s been a very difficult decision and we have given this a lot of thought, but unfortunately due to the current COVID-19 situation, PYO Strawberries will NOT be available this year.
It’s extremely disappointing for us here at McCallums Farm Shop, the large influx of people we see each Summer for pick-your-own is a big part of our annual business – fingers crossed that next year will be back to normal.
The good news is that fresh Strawberries will be available in the farm shop and, if the lockdown rules ease to a point where it’s safe to do so, we may open around August for PYO Raspberries.
We hope you are all keeping safe, well and thank you so much for your continued support.
The McCallums family.”
