In a normal year the patch runs on Saturdays and Sundays through October up to Halloween, roughly 10am to 4pm, with free entry and pay only for what you pick. Please note the patch did not open in 2025 because the crop failed after poor weather, so it is important to check that the farm is open for the current season before travelling.
