About This Farm

Good to Know
Farm gate entry is $12 for adults and $8 for children (2-12; under 2 free). Bring your own containers and sturdy shoes; this is a working hillside farm, not a manicured attraction. Open 9am-5pm daily through the December-January school holidays (closed Christmas Day); at other times phone ahead to confirm what's ripe and book your visit. Gumboots are a good idea early in the season, when the hillside tracks can stay damp after rain.
Pro tip: late summer is raspberry heaven, so ask which unusual varieties are ripe.
