Family strawberry farm in Fife (East Neuk, Scotland), 400 ha, ~180 seasonal workers per year. Recruitment through Concordia (confirmed on farm website) plus direct. According to farm data and our photos — caravans with own bathroom and kitchen (4–6 people), leisure facilities (gym, pool, trips) and strawberry picking in tunnels. Apply only through a licensed operator; no one should charge you for a CoS — that is fraud.

Distances are measured along the road. There is not always a pavement or footpath: many country roads in England have no verge, and walking along them is unsafe.

Station and town names are kept in English — that is how they appear on your ticket and on road signs.

The station nearest the farm is not always the one with London trains; the one listed here is the London one.
