The picks, worked out from the listings

Open when:

Worked out from the season dates and opening days the farms published themselves, checked against today's date in your browser. A farm only appears under "open today" where it published both. Farms that publish neither are still listed, they just cannot be filtered this way. Always worth a look at the farm's own page before you drive.

Good to know:

These come from the farms' own pages, the answers they publish because people ring up and ask. A farm that does not publish an answer is still listed, it just cannot be filtered on that one.
