Sloe Berries

I've made a thread in the past in GD but didn't get very far, so thought I'd ask again here.

Does anyone know where I can buy sloe berries from? I've tried searching and looking in the high-street, but no luck so far.

Hedgerows dear boy.

Don't mess about buying them when they are free !!!

i worked in a fruit and veg shop for a year, we had a girl come in and ask for these every week for the whole time i was there and not once did we have any in stock, not sure if it was down to cost or availability but my boss thought fit to avoid for one of the two reasons.

Good luck finding them but i dont think it will be an easy task.

I've never seen them for sale in shops but I know plenty of places to pick them in North Kent, usually appear around late sept/ october time.

....Sloe gin i take it?

Sloe Gin is good but Damsen Gin is awesome

Never seen them sold in shops. Hedgerows are the place to go scouting
