Zakberry - 125 Waitakere Road Farm

As Zaknich Strawberry Farm is seldom open for strawberry picking, it’s a golden opportunity for us to attend Pick Your Own on 2/2/2024.nnWe went there early in the morning at around 9am and there were not many people which allowed me to enjoy my PYO without hustled with other people.nnThe strawberries we picked were so sweet and fresh that we couldn’t stop eating on the way back home.nnI picked around 2kg which cost only NZD16. If you don’t want PYO, you can buy their Second Best strawberries which cost only NZD10 for 3kg.nnWe highly recommend you to attend PYO next year as it has come to an end today, 6/2/2024.

Strawberries at best. This is simply one of the best places to buy strawberries in season. $10 for a tray of 3 Kgs. And Nice place for fresh real fruit ice cream in West. Peaceful and ca atmosphere. Parking for cars. Pick your own PYO is not allowed but best to buy tray.

Been buying them non-stop for the past couple of weeks from Countdown/Woolworths. No cringing with these strawberries they're all sweet. Look for the ripe luscious red ones. Thank you very much

Nice and spacious farms to pick strawberries! A good thing is that we don't even need to pay entrance fees. Peaceful as it is not crowded. The ice creams are also good and at reasonable price

Bad Experience: Unnecessary Verbal Abuse and Poor ServicennI had a very disappointing experience at this farm today when my friend went to buy strawberries. What was supposed to be a simple shopping trip turned into a nightmare due to the rude and unprofessional behavior of an older man who seemed to be either the owner or farm manager.nnHere’s what happened: I was using a basket to gather some strawberries, and I had already confirmed with the staff that it was okay to use it for that purpose. However, this man misunderstood the situation and began shouting at me, accusing me of taking the basket without permission. He then proceeded to point his finger in my face and loudly berate me in front of a line of customers, insinuating that I was trying to steal something.nnEven after I explained that I had checked with the staff and was only temporarily using the basket, he ignored me, became even angrier, and continued to shout at me. It was completely unnecessary and unprofessional.nnWhat was meant to be a pleasant shopping experience turned into an uncomfortable and disrespectful encounter. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of courtesy and basic customer service. I would strongly suggest that the management addresses this issue and ensures that staff and owners treat customers with respect and professionalism.
