Went here for the chilies green chillies, but came home with apples, pears, tomatoes and feijoas!nnJust follow the PYO sign, bring as many buckets as you want. Don’t forget to bring the trolleys.nnIt’s a huge area of plantation, just keep on walking till you find what you wanted. Check on their Facebook for the availability veggies, fruit and also the price per kilos.nnAfter we finished picking, we just went back to the front shop. The staff will assist with weighing the buckets. If you didn’t bring your own bag, there is a paper bag available not free or else just bring your own bag.nnAt the exit door on the left side, you will find fresh fruit ice cream. Only for $5 you will get a huge portion of ice cream. Today is strawberry flavored.nnPrice is slightly same with the shop but you buy the experience and freshness. Kids also happy with the experience and the ice cream too. Ftw
My first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Were supposed to be there for Feijio picking but we discovered strawberries too during late April!! We were so happy and I got a huge box of strawberries. We also got some nice apples and some supposing Thai hot chillies but the ones I got aren't spicy at all.
We have been going there 4 weekends in a row, mainly picking strawberries for our smoothies at home. There were still lots of strawberries to be picked when we were there last Sunday. Zucchini, gherkins, red onions and beetroots are also available for picking. Capsicums, peppers and tomatoes are not ready yet for picking.
Pick your own fruit and veggies! We got strawberries, zucchini, avocado and some gerkins when we went Jan and they were all delicious.nnFor the strawberries, look around all the rows before you start picking - the rows at the back of the gardens had way bigger, riper strawberries than the first ones we picked.
Unbeatable prices and soooooo much chillies! The strawberries are so full of flavor, the zucchinis is enormous and I'll be back again and again.
