Border Berries A large area on the south side of Rutherford Farm buildings is used during the summer months as a pick your own fruit farm. The main fruits are strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants, black currants, Tay berries and black berries. Due to an unseasonably cold spring and recent inclement weather some fruits will ripen later than usual but strawberries were ready for picking on my visit.
