We have a beautiful day today in the mountains near Hartbeespoort Dam.
Come along for a fun experience of picking and eating your own strawberries straight from the plant in the fields and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.
As it is nearing the end of our season, you can pick and eat in the …
We have had some really much needed rains in the past 2 weeks which have made everything (including the weeds) come alive at an alarming rate.
As our fields are organic, we do not use any poisons and the weeds have to be removed by hand which is slow going and a very costly exercise.
Our dil…
What a fabulous day of strawberry picking yesterday. We had some BIG beauts come out of the fields early in the morning. However, it does not matter what the size is, our strawberries always taste delicious.... the little ones sometimes are even sweeter. So look for those. Bigger is not always bett…
What a fabulous time of the year !
We are having beautiful Spring weather with all the leaves starting to appear on the trees. The grass is turning green and the world is coming alive again after a long, cold sleep. We have lots of birds singing in our trees, the ducks and geese are laying their eg…
Nature is treating us gently. We are having beautiful weather for strawberry picking.
A great time to relax and unwind.
Gearing up for Strawberry Picking Season 2018
Preparations are in full swing for our 2018 Strawberry Picking season.
Lots of activity and excitement is in the air!
See you all soon !!!
If you have missed it, our 2017 strawberry picking season has ended. We will be open for picking again near the end of September 2018.
It's been a pretty good strawberry season this year, with record amounts of strawberries being produced by our plants this year.
Now the hard work and preparation …
It's another fantastic morning on The Strawberry Farm. It's perfect for picking our delicious sweet, red, organic strawberries.
Today is our last day of picking for the 2017 season, so, if you have missed out this year, today is your last opportunity to pick. The fields have enjoyed the rain over…
We had even more rain last night meaning that the fields are very wet this morning. The rain over the last week or 2 has slowed the removal of grasses and weeds from the fields, so they are rather overgrown at the moment.
Yes, we will be open for picking today, with a good possibility of picking to…
Yes, you read right!!! The season will finish this coming weekend. We expected last weekend to be the end of it, but the weather has brought its' side by giving us wet, cool weather.
All of the plants have been lapping up the rain and flourishing in the cooler weather this week - that includes …
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it's a gorgeous morning on The Strawberry Farm. Finished your month end shopping? Enjoyed the Sevens Rugby? It's a perfect day to head out of the city, to get some fresh air and sunshine, along with a healthy dose of our delicious, sweet, organic strawb…
It's another beautiful morning on The Strawberry Farm, nice and overcast.
We have a 60% chance of rain for this morning up to 12 o'clock, after that there doesn't seem to be any chance of rain according to the weatherman, but we all know that he can get it very wrong at times.
This should be…
Yup, that's correct - the sun is shining this morning, and there is an odd coolness in the air for this time of year. It's odd for us to experience a temperature of 10°C in November, which is was when we came in to work this morning.
As you know, it bucketed down yesterday out here on the farm…
This mornings' dash of thunder and lightning has passed, the sun has even made a brief appearance.
We all know Mother Nature is not predictable, and we have more dark clouds on the way - anything can happen.
So, if there is any thunder and lightning, we will close the fields, if it is merely…
Good morning from a very overcast Strawberry Farm.
Last night we experienced some fantastic, well needed rain, and it looks like it may very well continue this morning. There are rumblings from upstairs, indicating this may be more than just rain, but a full blown thunderstorm. As you may know, i…
If you hadn't noticed, there is a cold front that has rolled through the country. Who would have thought that this close to Christmas South Africa would get to experience snow - is a white Christmas maybe on the cards? The changes in the global climate have become a lot more noticeable. A few season…
Well hello Saturday!
What a busy time we have had over the last couple of weeks. It's been so busy that we haven't had an opportunity to post here, apologies for that. Time has just seemed to slip away from us.
O.K. so, we have passed the halfway mark for our season this year, and from here on out…
Having spent a lot of time in the fields this week, we are happy to let you know that the strawberry fields have an awesome abundance of insanely sweet, organic strawberries.
After last weeks' water fiasco (which left the fields in a state that "Muddy Princess" could have taken place here), the…
Arriving at work this morning, we are greeted by fine cool weather, the sky was dotted with light clouds (which has now clouded over completely) and the promise of a great day of picking.
Yesterday was a cloudy, drizzly day, which was fantastic for picking as well as month end shopping. The Cur…
Yes, we are open for picking... Yes, it's drizzling and wet underfoot... Perfect weather for gorging yourself on our delicious strawberries.
This week saw a wet, muddy beginning. Our farm gets its' irrigation water via a furrow and sluice system that comes from the Skeerpoort river. We share this…
