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…
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 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…
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…
Yes, you read correctly... Picking season starts tomorrow, 30 September 2017.
For the first time in the 14 years that we have been open for strawberry picking, are we limiting the opening weekend picking hours. We will be open for picking from 7:30 am until 10 am on Saturday for picking, with Sun…
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.…
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 …

Feel rejuvenated after the long dry winter, plus it's a short downhill to the end of the year...
Spring has arrived in full force already, with temperatures already reaching 34ºC out in the fields.
The strawberries are in beautiful bloom with loads of little white flowers on the plants, along with a fair amount of green strawberries. This means we should have a good crop of strawberries to …
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.

I'ts been an odd season this year, and is about at an end.
The heat and drought took its toll on the farm this year, even with us irrigating from our own dam.

This year we sa…

The strawberries, from the sounds of it, have been picked out in our fields today. We do still have mulberries, delicious big black ones, gorgeous plump white ones, and then our own rose half breed - varying in colour from a very light purple, to almost black. Each has its' own subtle flavour differ…
The fields are closed for today, the masses of people,crazy heat and nasty drought are taking their toll on the strawberries. The plants are sending out runners, signifying the strawberry production will be tapering off - we have the heat to thank for that...
On a different note, we would like t…
The heat has really taken hold of us on the farm. It's sweltering on the farm.
This heat is not conducive to growing of strawberries, and we have noticed this week that there are more and more plants sending out runners... this leads to the season coming to an end.
We have still had a really c…
