All picking farms listed here

The strawberries are back! :)

Kids love picking them, and the tray goes a long way that's for sure!

Tips:

  • Get there early in the day. With the popularity it has now, it gets busy, both parking and picking.
  • bring a change of clothes (or at least shoes). Dark sand everywhere that will get on everything
  • bring drinking water and sun protection

Enjoy!

Side note - I'd be pretty confident in saying that you'd fill the tray with more than 3kgs of fruit! Probably double that in reality

    If you are doing this, please be mindful not to actually damage the plants! Kids especially.

      Very easy to freeze for smoothies, or even to share around family etc

        eneloop power smoothies sound like a good idea but making them could ruin your blender and give you stomach problems.

    I gave up on strawberries years ago, they look great but are have no flavour.

    • dji1111111 on 28/08/2016 - 12:47

      That's Australian strawberries for you. Try it overseas and they don't taste anything like what we have here. Our strawberries have very hard flesh, lack flavour and overly tart with no sweetness. Must be inferior vareties we have here. You can occasionally get decent ones at farmers market but not easy to come across.

      • Vauxhall on 28/08/2016 - 14:42

        I tried some UK strawberries too…the same…tart and lacking in flavour and looks even worse than Australian strawberries.

    • kahn on 28/08/2016 - 16:54

      I'm guessing you've never grown your own or picked them from the plant.

    • Flying Ace on 28/08/2016 - 19:34

      Best strawberries I've ever had were in Sweden. Here they seem to grow them as big as they can, yet they are totally insipid or tart. The Swedish strawberries were small and so so sweet and delicious. Nothing in Australia comes close!

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 28/08/2016 - 09:35

    Although too far for me, this is one of the few advantageous fruit picking deals.

    When I was in Hahndorf (Adelaide Hills) one of the "recommended" activities was strawberry picking. It was $9.95/kg during peak harvest and you still had to pay $4 just to enter, which can be a deal-killer for large families (http://www.beerenberg.com.au/61/Picking). Since I've worked on a strawberry farm and IGA down the road had cheaper strawberries I couldn't justify it for myself.

    • kima on 28/08/2016 - 13:00

      yeah but i have done fruit picking and have seen most the grubs that were there - eat more than they buy, throw their rubbish all over the farm and break the plants so you can see why the farm needed to raise their price. sad really

    Too bad I live in Sydney. Did something similar in Japan, would highly recommend bringing some cream/condensed milk

    • kima on 28/08/2016 - 13:01

        No, he rubs it all over himself then runs naked through the plants.

      • voteoften on 28/08/2016 - 11:42

        If we get there around noon Di you reckon it'll be over run, either by walkers or pickers?

        • tooten69 on 28/08/2016 - 11:48

          I think lunch would be very busy

      • tooten69 on 28/08/2016 - 11:47

        They are busy but have heaps :)

        • voteoften on 28/08/2016 - 11:56

          Thanks. Do you know if some people have brought bowls or the like so one person can pick into the box and the other can go off and pick into the smaller vessel and then dump into the box periodically?

        • thydzik on 28/08/2016 - 12:15

          @voteoften:

          other farms allow you to do this.

          for a kids activity, It is common to given them a honey/yogurt container to use (different farm).

    can confirm - absolutely delicious strawberrys today. did about 2.5kg (more than i needed really) got in 15mins prior and went with my toddler. half competent human could grab an entire box in 15mins of the best. normally i dont like them and was getting them for others/fun but these ones are quite good. just drive down badgerup drive and you cant miss it on the right. theres a little stall they setup for entry

  • tanastra on 28/08/2016 - 14:30

    Early birds get the strawberries . Not much left at 12.30 pm for the totally fat juicy rippen ones as they are gone early . Only the small and rotten ones done by the rain left over . Still worth it for kids joy though . A cheap easy way for farmers to get cheap labours and earn income as working holidays hard to come by nowadays . Everyone wins !!

    • tanastra on 28/08/2016 - 15:08

      It's 1.06 pm and the guys at the farm told us no more left as we went out . Sorry guys !!

      • KupoHo on 28/08/2016 - 15:26

        Yep definitely all gone but still super fun for my crazy child picking the little ones. We know to get in early when the other ones open soon!

    Anyone care to comment of the quality of strawberries? I know different farms have different types, ie. sweet/average, large/small, juicy/dry..
    Edit: nvm, just realised it was for one day.. sigh

    Thanks go there at about 11.30. Got about 3.5kg, can't see how your could get more than that in one tray, ours was over flowing.. maybe smaller trays this year .. Still great outing with kids thanks.

  • bbunch on 29/08/2016 - 14:21

    Best to go during the week, less people (when they open up the multiple day selling to the public). In summery weather, it's super dusty (wear your crappiest shows). If it's super busy, they will have the bus running to move groups of pickers from the gate to the farm (couple of minutes in the bus). Five minute walk

    quality was great the last time we were there. $12 a tray then and plenty of berries.

    pronounced Nang-Garra (Garra as in Yarra) for those who would like to know :)

    • bbunch on 30/08/2016 - 10:30

      Correction to my above post. I was mistakenly referring to Ti's farm in Bullsbrook:

      CURRENTLY CLOSED - OPENING SEPTEMBER 2016

      Ti Strawberry Farm is located at 263 Old West Road in Bullsbrook, just around the corner from The Maze and Outback Splash. -31.666251, 115.936110

      The farm will be open Saturday and Sunday and every day during the school holidays (26th Sept - 10th Oct) from 9am – 4.30pm. They anticipate that the fruit will be ripe for picking up until November/December. The plants have a 5 day cycle so once one field has been picked the next field will be ripe for picking.

      • spackbace on 30/08/2016 - 10:38

        Yeah that's the farm I initially thought this was for :) But that's ok, we can now benefit from multiple picking farms :)

  • Nat000 on 30/08/2016 - 08:12

    D'Uva's has just announced its farm will be open this Friday & Sunday (not Saturday). $7 per 3kg tray and the best continental rolls in town!

    Edit: 9am - 4pm

    Very late notice + long weekend meant much less people and very pleasant experience.
