About Peaks Top Farm

The farm was built over 200 years ago, and the Clayton family have been farming here since the 1920’s.  During that time the farm has seen huge changes, moving from a large farming workforce supported by horse power to modern day mechanisation. In the early days we focused on beef cattle and dairy farming, but over time this focus has changed to more diverse activities ranging from cereal, fruit farming, to making our very own fruit wine. We are enthusiastic about what we do and are happy to discuss any of our activities and produce.  We look forward to welcoming you to the farm!

We have been growing soft fruit for sale on the farm for the past 30 years. Originally a small area of strawberries were grown as a sideline to the farming business. Now the soft fruit at Peaks Top Farm includes over 2 hectares of strawberries, a ‘table-top’ strawberry growing system, 5 poly-tunnels plus outdoor bush and cane fruit such as raspberries, black and redcurrants along with 3 varieties of gooseberries. New for 2016 we have planted a variety of blueberries called Juke.

Our fruit season usually starts mid June until late July depending on the weather. Strawberries and gooseberries begin the season, with the raspberries, red and blackcurrants towards the end of June through July.

We are open 7 days a week through the main season 10am – 5pm. We welcome all members of the public to come to the farm and ‘pick your own’ fruit. At a little extra cost we have a ready picked service for all our fruit if you don’t have the time to pick your own.

Our blackberries come into fruit later in the year; generally around August.

Once October arrives we move into our orchard to begin picking apples and plums. We grow 4 varieties of apples (Scrumptious, Russet and Falstaff eaters and  Bramley cooking apples). The 2 varieties of plums are Victoria and Czar.

Depending on yield we also aim to have rhubarb available in season.

We’ve been making our Fabulously Fruity range of fruit wines since 2012 using traditional methods with fruit grown here on our very own fruit farm.

We currently plant over 10 acres of fruit each year for our wine which is continuing to grow in popularity as more people experience the unique flavours.

We regularly hold free wine tastings at the farm every Saturday afternoon between 12pm and 4pm. We can guarantee you won’t be leaving empty handed!

 Peaks Top Farm has been an accredited Caravan Club Certificated Location site for the last 15 years.  Our site is a well kept, peaceful, grassed half acre at the edge of the farm yard.
