The nation’s most outstanding pick-your-own (PYO) farms have been revealed, with three finalists from across the UK making the shortlist for the prestigious Farm Retail Awards 2026. Craigies Farm in Fife, Scotland, Lathcoats Farm, Essex, and Manor Farm Fruits, Staffordshire, impressed the judges with their outstanding customer experiences, community engagement and passion for fresh, local produce.
'Places to make memories'
Emma Mosey, chair of organisers the Farm Retail Association (FRA), said: "This year’s PYO finalists capture everything that’s special about farm retail – seasonal produce, family-friendly experiences and a deep-rooted commitment to their communities. These aren’t just places to buy fruit; they’re places to make memories. They remind us why local food matters more than ever."
The winners will be crowned at the FRA Awards Gala Dinner as part of its annual conference, which will be held in Yorkshire in March 2026. Other categories to be lauded include Farm Café/Restaurant of the Year, Small Farm Shop of the Year and Large Farm Shop of the Year.
