Strawberry Farm Plea: Stop ‘Shoplifting’ in the Fields

A strawberry farm has captured national attention this week after issuing a heartfelt plea on social media, urging visitors to refrain from eating the fruit in the fields. The farm has expressed serious concerns over the increasing trend of visitors consuming strawberries before paying –“Unfortunately, this is significantly impacting our small family business, especially during our busier time.” Over in Cheshire, Barbara Hughes from Magical Malpas PYO Farm highlighted another issue: bad weather. “We lost all our strawberry plants this year because of the weather,” she said, explaining why they could not offer pick-your-own strawberries this year.
