13.01.2022 Construction update. Here the walls on our brand new cool room are going into place. Just imagine all the juicy berries that will soon be cooling down in here, freshly picked straight from the field!

12.01.2022 Buzzted.. Although strawberry flowers are self-fertile and can pollinate themselves, bees play a very important role at our farm by increasing crop production as they spread pollen between the flowers. A BIG thank you to our local friends Bees Knees Honey for keeping our farm buzzing. Were extremely lucky to have one of the healthiest honey bee colonies in the world here in Australia and its essential we keep it that way
