It sure has and not just for home growers.

I go round the markets for bargains and even though I did not want  any soft fruits because I have got tons (well a lot) Most of which I have given away because we can not eat them ourselves.

I did notice that the price they are going for indicates that a lot of commercial growers are having to sell at a loss.

Enjoy, freeze and preserve.

We're fast disappearing under a mountain of soft fruit.

Youre lucky! We moved all our fruit bushes this year so havent got much off of them. Plus we havent had hardly any rain for the last 2 months but theres always next year to look forward too.
