Fancy picking your own berries?  How about picking your own veg too?
 
John Sinclair from Craigie's Farm shares his passion for helping people connect with the field to fork journey.   

We chat about the wide range of fruit and veg grown at Craigie's Farm and John's vital role in quality control - tasting the first of the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries... 

Listen to hear about the changes at the farm over the years, and the seasonality of fruit and veg grown in Scotland.
