About This Farm
The Farm Silvan runs summer u-pick blueberries on the corner of Parker and Monbulk-Silvan Roads at Silvan, in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges' berry country. The bushes sit at child-friendly height, tasting as you pick is encouraged, and the on-site Barn Owl Cafe with its secure kids' yard makes it easy to turn picking into a full morning out.
What You Can Pick
- Blueberries - December to February, eat as you pick, then pay by the kg on exit
Activities
- Barn Owl Cafe with a secure play yard for kids
- Berry country drive - Blue Hills and the Silvan dam are minutes away
Good to Know
Book u-pick sessions through the website; hours change with fruit stock and weather each season, so check the booking page or socials before visiting. An entry fee applies to pick, with current amounts shown at booking. The site is the former Hillbilly Farms blueberry property, now refreshed under new operators with the cafe as its heart. Buckets are provided at the gate, and the cafe's secure yard means parents can finish a coffee while children play in sight.
Pro tip: low bushes make this one of the easiest picks for toddlers anywhere near Melbourne.
