That's a wrap...

Yup, it's a wrap for picking for this weekend folks. Lots of people, and loads of strawberries have been picked.

Come through next weekend if you're wanting to pick. We understand that some people wish to still head to the fields to have a look, we allow it, but still charge our entrance fee for…

Rain, mud and a really good time...

What amazing rain we had last night, all 10 mm of it!!! The thunder was rolling through the valley with quite some ferocity, the wind picked up (and damaged a couple of trees) making its own music, what a fantastic sound.

Thanks to the rain, the fields are pretty muddy this morning even with some…

Fantastic weather...

Good morning, we are in for a weekend of fantastic weather if you are a duck or a pluviophile according to the weatherman.

This morning has started out nice and sunny, but we expect conditions to change from about 11 this morning. There is a 45% chance of thundershowers from 1 p.m. and the chance…

What a day we had yesterday. Loads of people came through to pick and eat our strawberries in the fields. 

Over and above the devouring of our delicious bounty down in the fields, about 7000 strawberries were picked to take home. Yes, its a lot of strawberries, but we do still have more to be en…

A glorious morning for picking

It's a glorious morning here on the strawberry farm. A fantastic start to the day, cool with a light breeze - perfect for picking.

Last weeks rain was very welcome, and has done wonders for the strawberries, perking them up and making them look really good. We have loads of strawberries for picki…

Picking...

A beautiful day greeted us this morning, with light cloud cover and a few patches of blue sky. The weatherman really didn't get it right this weekend, as rain and thunderstorms were forecast for most of it and what awesome weather we have been having. But hey, we are happy, with a lot of happy picke…

It's raining, it's pouring...

It's been a beautiful week of intermittent rain, with a full day of rain yesterday. The plants love the rain, and perk up a lot with the cooler weather and the 21mm of the downpour really does a world of difference. We have had pickers enjoying the wet and muddy conditions in the fields, of which so…

And it started...

As I walked down the driveway to remove the "Closed for Picking" sign at 07:25 this morning, the 7th and 8th vehicle of the morning drove past me, and I have to say the people in the 7th vehicle seemed a lot more jovial with a great smile and wave as they drove past... I figure the people in car num…

The fields...

As it stands, 2 of the fields bounty is beautifully ripe with the majority of them being a good size. That still leaves the rest of the fields to start catching up, which we doubt will happen by this coming weekend. It looks like we will be opening for a limited time this coming weekend for picking.…

Strawberry season is nearly here

Our strawberry season is nearly upon us.

The plants are full of little white flowers, most are heavy with green strawberries, with a few of the plants producing red fruit so far. Unfortunately this isn't anywhere near sufficient for you - the public - to come and pick. 

We expect that we will …

Strawberry Season info

It is not yet strawberry season on the farm. We expect the season to start after the winter. 

There are strawberry flowers in the fields, which is a good sign that season may start a little earlier than previous years. We hope that there will not be a really cold spell in the coming weeks.
