Our Elderflower Harvest is now open from: Belvoir Farm 23rd May 2pm – 6pm Sacrewell 30th May 2.30pm – 5pm
The 2022 drop off points for elderflower are as follows. Please note the differing opening times, they are not yet open.
Belvoir Farm, Barkestone Lane, Bottesford, NG13 0DH
Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre, Thornhaugh, Peterborough, PE8 6HJ (off the A1/A47 junction at Wansford)
Please bring your elderflowers on the same day of picking or it becomes brown and unusable. No stalks please. Over 16+ only.
We recommend some good walking shoes and long trousers to protect yourself from nettles. Then just grab a good-sized, reusable bag and head for the hedgerows.
Of course, we only encourage you to pick from private land, where permission has been obtained both for them to be there and to pick the elderflowers.
Please follow the countryside code when picking which can be found here.
Please trust that with our Countryside Stewardship membership and modern farming practices, we always work hard to put back at least as much as we take when harvesting from the hedgerows.
So, take the opportunity to get outdoors, to exercise and to pocket some cash, all at the same time.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
