Fruit Farm

EV Farms will produce over 2200 tonnes of strawberries in 2011. The 3 farms all have 50% of their strawberries growing on table tops. These table tops make picking easier, give increased yields and better fruit quality. Blueberries are on Sandbanks Farm and we hope to pick 30 tonnes in late June through to late July.
