I haven’t been fruit picking since I was 10 so we decided to take a trip down memory lane and make ourselves sick by eating too many berries. I used to go to a fruit picking place near Lusk, which has since closed so we decided to find somewhere new: the only place we could source was Lamberts Fruit Farm. Near Rathfarnham/the Merry Ploughboy Pub, Lamberts is really easy to find — although you do have to drive down some very suspect ‘roads’ i.e. country lanes that you could barely fit a bike down. Be warned if you’re driving something bigger than mymy baby Opel! Once there, you are given buckets and free to pick as you like! Pricing is done by weight with raspberries and tayberries [didn’t know what these were but they taste like perfume/pot pourri!] at a low price level and strawberries at a higher price point. We got a near full bucket of raspberries for € 8, a lot cheaper than a supermarket, and had really good fun walking around the fields in the process. This place would be great for families, the kids around us seemed to love it, and us two big kids were in our element as well. Not a bad Sunday afternoon!
