I want to buy strawberries for jam making. Where can I buy about 10kg without paying a leg and an arm for them. I live in Kerry so perhaps the Cork area might be best.
 
Re: Strawberries

Could try Gleesons Fruit & Veg in Ovens, Co. Cork. 021 7331979 (just off main Cork-Killarney road)

What about all those "pick your own" places? I remember it being good craic when we were kids. Not sure what savings there were/are to be had though.
 
Re: Strawberries

Does anyone know where there's one of those "pick your own" strawberry "farms" near Dublin? I'd love to do it too.
 
Re: Strawberries

Up until a few years ago there was one on the Enniskerry road just past the Statoil garage in Killtiernan. Next left after the garage coming from Dublin and the field is just on the left there. I haven't been out that way in a few years so could be gone now.
 
Re: Strawberries

There's one in Leixlip. Heading into the village from Dublin, after you go over the bridge turn RIGHT down the Mill Lane. The Main St goes left so you'll need to be on the ball. There "should" be a sign after about 100M indicating a fruit farm on the left up the hill. Has been a while though so may be houses.
 
Re: Strawberries

I think theres a place just outside Currow village- near Farranfore. Sliabh Luachra Strawberries, the name of the owner is ( O')Sullivan, the address is Dicksgrove, Currow, Killarney.
