24.01.2022 Hi everyone, Plenty of ripe juicy berries to pick here at the patch! See you....Thanks

23.01.2022 Time is running out! Only a couple of weeks left to get your blueberries before we close the farm for 2020. Don't miss out! We're open for the rest of the season 8am-6pm. Have you filled your freezer yet?

22.01.2022 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=728771774190981&id=192860577782106 Humans of Launceston interviewed our Bec about her and our family's journey caring for Karin, beautifully written

21.01.2022 "Thanks for the extra service with a smile. Wet day, heavy load of berries, wet carpark - NO WORRIES!! Just the ordinary caring berry growers." Julie from Lonnie

20.01.2022 Hey folks. Just a quick post to let you know we're closing today due to being rained out. We'll be opening again at the normal time tomorrow, weather permitting. There's still a tonne of fruit on the bushes and we are now allowing step ladders and crates to be taken down to the patch. Sorry for any inconvenience.... -Alex See more

20.01.2022 Dear customers, Please watch this space OR ring the farm number on 63951407 and listen to the latest answering machine message to find out when we are open, as many of you know our very own Karin is seriously ill and at this stage we can't say for certain when we will be reopening and we unfortunately do not have time to reply to individual inboxes at this stage as we are all busy caring for her. Thank you for your understanding and patience, we apologise if you have sent us a message and we haven't replied. The Stosh family

20.01.2022 Found: Rayban sunglasses. If you can describe them and verify that they're yours, inbox us

16.01.2022 Dear Customers The wait is finally over! We will be opening our farm this Friday on January 17th. From then on we'll be open 7 days from 8am til 6pm. The price is still $8 per kilo.... We'd like to urge customers to try and bring their own containers for quicker service (and because we tend to run out) and cash as there is no EFPOS facilities on the farm. We're looking forward to seeing all the old faces and meeting some new ones! See you there!

15.01.2022 Dear Customers, Just thought I'd clear up a few questions I'm getting asked frequently in the inbox. For the rest of the season we are remaining open everyday from 8am until 6pm. Depending on weather and crowd sizes we expect another 1-2 weeks of good picking left.... There is still plenty of fruit inside and on top of the bushes. We are allowing people to bring ladders and milk crates to stand on but we do ask that you are careful to not damage branches with them. We do not have EFPOS facilities on site due to the very unstable landline and lack of reception. Cash only. Thank you - Alex

15.01.2022 Good afternoon customers. Just letting everyone know the weather last week really ripened up the berries and the bushes are bursting with juicy fruit! There is so much fruit available that we will be staying open all week 8am until 6pm so come and fill up your fridges and freezers :)

13.01.2022 We are closing tomorrow evening 6pm until the weekend to let the berries ripen a bit more - please refrain from messaging the page unless you have a question that isn't in our info page, we have very limited staff and don't have time to reply to all messages.

13.01.2022 If you still haven't come out to see us yet, this week is the time to make the trip! Mild weather all week and literally tonnes of juicy fruit waiting to be picked. We'll be open every day 8am til 6pm so come give us a visit! :)

12.01.2022 Good evening customers - we will now be closed until Tuesday the 26th of January due to unripe fruit. Plenty of berries to come but the cooler weather is slowing them down.

10.01.2022 Dear Customers, The farm will be reopening 8am this Sunday morning February 2nd. The hot weather has ripened up heaps of fruit and it's time to harvest!

10.01.2022 Dear customers, If you're still hoping to get some blueberries this season or maybe just a top up you'd better get in quick! We are planning to close the farm after the first weekend of March which means you could have as little as 10 days left to get some delicious fresh berries.... There' s still a lot to pick in and on top of the bushes so bring your step ladders or milk crates to stand on if you want an advantage! Thank you all for supporting us this year. I hope to see you on the farm! -Alex

09.01.2022 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our blueberries fans! We're getting ready for a really big season in 2020. I know so many of you are really keen to come out but you'll have to wait until Mid January for the fruit to be ripe enough.... Keep an eye out for our opening post soon or feel free to call Michael's office on 0363281364 For any prerecorded updates.

09.01.2022 Dear Customers, As of tonight the blueberry season for 2019 is over and the farm is closed. On behalf of Michael, Rose, Rebecca and myself I would like to thank all of you, long time customers and new faces alike for supporting our business. We started out with a dream of our own family business and it would not be possible without so many of you visiting year after year. We all feel incredibly humbled by the amount of cards and messages of support during the hardest year for... our family. With your help we also raised $3000 for the Cancer Council. Please enjoy your blueberries and have a safe and wonderful 2019. We look forward to seeing you all next year. -Alex

08.01.2022 Dear Customers, We've decided that this will be our final week of picking. The final day of the season will be Sunday the 1st of March. This will be your last chance to come out and pick so if you haven't come out yet this year make some plans quick!

08.01.2022 Dear Customers, Due to a combination of cold weather and a huge pick over the weekend we will be closing the farm again tonight at 6pm until Saturday 1st of February pending on fruit ripening. I know many of you are keen to come out to fill your freezers but we need you to be patient with us just a bit longer. There's mountains of berries to come still.... Thanks - Alex See more

07.01.2022 Dear Customers, After a huge opening weekend and an amazing turn out by many of you, we've been largely picked out of our initial fruit. We will be closing tonight at 6pm until again this weekend on the 25th for the Australia Day weekend to allow more fruit to ripen up.... We apologize for any inconvenience. There's a lot of fruit still to come. Thank you - Alex

06.01.2022 Dear customers, At about 1.15pm this afternoon, our beautiful Karin passed away peacefully in her sleep at home after bravely fighting bowel cancer for over 2 years. Karin was an adored wife of almost 30 years to Michael, beloved mother to Alex and Bec and devoted daughter-in-law to Rose. Those of you lucky enough to meet Karin know that she was a very kind, gentle and generous lady who's infectious smile and unbreakable spirit will be missed by all that knew her. We would l...ike to thank everyone for your well wishes and support, we will miss our precious angel Mum more than words can say but we are so incredibly proud of her courage and sheer determination to be strong for her family. The farm will remain open at this stage as per Karin's wishes. Thank you, Michael, Karin, Alex, Bec and Rose Stosh Crestview Blueberries

06.01.2022 The blueberry farm will be closing tomorrow at 6pm Thursday the 31st of January for a few days to allow fruit to ripen. Thank you for your patience and we will post again when we're open

06.01.2022 Hello loyal Crestview customers! We will be reopening for picking this Sunday the 26th of January at 8am. Please remember that we have no EFTPOS facilities on the farm and accept cash only. You are welcome to bring crates and small step ladders to stand on to pick the higher fruit. Hats, sunscreen and cold drinks are a good idea also, but we do sell cold bottled water for $1 with all proceeds going to the Cancer Council if you forget your drink!... Have a great night and we can't wait to see you this Sunday for another great Australia Day on the farm!

05.01.2022 Dear Customers, Thanks for your patience this past week, the farm will re-open for picking tomorrow, 28.01.2019, at 8 AM - 6 PM. We will remain open while there is fruit to pick. Also, a big thank you to Julie and Rodney Pearce for their very generous lend of their convertible Saab today. Our family had a wonderful day driving in the country and we feel very humble that complete strangers actually trusted us and lent their car. There were many other offers, it's amazing that the Launceston Community is so kindhearted.

04.01.2022 Attention customers - unfortunately we will have no public toilet available this year due to Covid. Public toilets are located at Lilydale falls and the village green. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

03.01.2022 ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS It's with a heavy heart that we need to inform you that we will be CLOSED until further notice. We found out from Biosecurity today that our beautiful farm may have the dreaded blueberry rust. This has struck a huge financial blow to our family as we still have so many berries to be picked and weeks of the season to go. We apologize for any inconvenience, watch this space for updates but with this terrible news it is unlikely that we will be able to reopen any time in the foreseeable future.

02.01.2022 Dear Customers, Good news everyone! We've decided to stay open another week! With so much ripe fruit left we've decided to run the farm until the Sunday evening 10th of March. The big bushes in the larger rows still have tonnes of fruit up high and hidden inside the branches. ... Bring your tall friends or family members to help you or dust off that step ladder! Come get some berries before they're gone for the year! -Alex See more
