At Clive’s, we pride ourselves on our P.Y.O set up. We have strived over the years to make it easier for the general public by developing and enhancing current growing and picking systems. The poly tunnels are located next to the farm between the farmyard and the old Upton-Malvern railway line. We can usually meet all your soft and top fruit needs, a quick phone or email and we can help. If you are visiting as part of a group it is best to ring in advance to check availability.

PYO RULES
Please be advised that we may have to close the PYO fields at short notice, as we are unable to control both the demand and the weather, however we will keep the website, PYO hotline and all forms of social media updated, so we advise you check before you make your journey.
We do want to offer this as a fun filled day out for all the family, however ensure you follow our rules and you won’t miss out on the delicious fruit that we have worked so hard to produce throughout the year.
Therefore, it is our aim to create the safest possible environment within the field for our wonderful customers, and also for our amazing staff. To do this we have implemented a set of rules and procedures to ensure health and safety is at its absolute highest:
1. There is no need to book, we will have a maximum number of people in the field at one time, this number will depend on how many tunnels we have open on the day. This will be closely monitored by our staff, so please be aware there may be a short wait during peak periods.
2. We expect all customers to respect other pickers.
3. You may only use punnets and baskets that have been supplied by Clive’s,
4. Please do not take bags and rucksacks into the field, we reserve the right to search if we feel that any picked fruit has not been declared.
5. We ask that no one eats the fruit until it has been paid for.
6. No dogs are allowed in the PYO fields
7. All fruit picked MUST be paid for, the fields are only for pickers if you do not want to pick, then please do not go in the field. You MUST NOT leave any picked fruit in the field, or leave any spilt fruit on the ground.
8. Please do not pull the plants apart or pick any green unripe berries.
We have put a lot of time, care and dedication into growing these Berries, therefore we would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation and hope you that enjoy your PYO experience!
NB// If you do not follow the rules you will be asked to leave the FARM immediately.
