We love to then eat them in the car on the way home when they are still warm from the sun – delicious! So, if you are looking for strawberry farms near you, here is a great list!
Or look for other family days out in Yorkshire.
Strawberry Picking York
Balloon Tree, York, North Yorkshire
Stamford Bridge Rd, Gate Helmsley, York YO41 1NB
The Balloon Tree is one of the closest places to strawberry pick near York. They sell other produce too, have a fabulous farm shop, fabulous cafe and a children’s play area. They do an excellent breakfast and excellent cake – depending on when you plan to visit, so if you are clever, plan to visit when you can handily fit a meal in too!
Last year they had picnic benches at the exit of the strawberry picking and a little hut selling drinks and ice creams, which is also a nice way to finish your day out.
We have reviewed The Balloon Tree cafe here.

Kemps Farm, Leeds
Glebe Farm, Butterwick Rd, Malton YO17 6PP
Kemps Farm has two locations Leeds and Malton. From their website
“We are proud to be a fourth generation family-run mixed farm. With diversity comes sustainability for the land, the environment and the family
We keep things simple growing the strawberries in the ground, rather than in raised beds. We find that not only do the strawberries taste better this way, but think it is more fun for the kids to pick them like this, as they can rummage amongst the leaves trying to find the biggest sweetest strawberry.”
I love that – like a strawberry treasure trail!
