The main reason why you come to Berry Hill just on the border between Cardiff and Newport on the old Newport Road is to to PYO... Pick Your Own fruit of course. During the summer and autumn I go a couple of times to Berry Hill to pick fresh fruit, there's a selection of soft and hard fruit as well as squash's and peas to harvest. Recently the farm has developed a really good farm shop. You go to the shop to buy the fruit you've picked but also to stock up on homemade jams, desserts, relishes,pickles, bread and locally sourced cheese and meat. Last time I was there they also had freezers stocked with ice cream and desserts and a whole host of other goodies. One sad sign of the times is, they no longer grow strawberries, as so many were getting "pinched" when they were getting picked it wasn't viable for them anymore. The owners are some of Rick Stein's culinary food heroes. read more

We've not quite got to 'that' time of year yet, but already there's talk of Christmas gently surfacing, like a sour stench from the drains... insidiously permeating our thoughts... Oh. it won't be long now before the TV is awash with Christmas ads, all jingly and tinkly, urging us to invest vast sums of money in stuff that our friends and family will resent us for, for years... 'tis a treacherous time! The perils are manifold and grave... There is however, one safe haven within all of the Christmas commerce where it is difficult to put a step wrong... Christmas trees and turkey are the stuff that can get you out of a lot of bother! Berry Hill Fruit Farm sells them both! They also sell holly, mistletoe, and wreaths. Their turkeys are free range, as are their chickens and eggs... They also supply fresh veg making them almost a one-stop shop for all of the essentials at Christmas. read more

Been to this Farm shop twice and both times the owners have been extremely rude, leading me to leave without purchasing anything. Apparently the M4 relief road is going through the farm (if it goes ahead) I only hope that it does. read more

We visited Berryhill farm on 9/8/14, we are local to the area and have driven past the sign for the farm shop many times on the A48, we decided to drive down for a look. We had a look around the farm shop, bought some juice and welsh cakes. You can then go through the shop to the plant area. At the end of the plant area there were fruit trees, these were not cordoned off or anything so we went for a walk around here too. I ate two plums on way around, one was sour and the other very mushy (most of fruit was mouldy and trees looked diseased) my sister ate two and picked two more. We were going to pay on the way out (we are both honest professional people in our late thirties and fourties.) When we got back to the shop we went to see the man to pay (I was going to pay for the two plums I ate and my sister was going to ask him to charge for 4 plums.) He went absolutely beserk saying he had offered us a bag (he had not said anything to us) said you have to tell him if you are picking fruit, then said we were BANNED!!!!! then demanded three pounds from us (we stupidly payed this, although my sister was in so much shock she left the 2 plums on the paying desk!) Needless to say we won't be visiting the farm shop again (we were also going to buy some sausages and runner beans but changed our minds unsurprisingly.) The man was very aggressive, we will be telling people we know not to visit this place. read more
