Our Story
Opening times: We are open during the Longan season which varies from year to year (usually around February/March/April) , and only on the weekends from 9.00am-3.00pm on specific days (ie not every weekend). We advertise each week the days that we are open in the Queensland Asian Business Weekly (Friday) and right here on Facebook.
How it works:
The Longan Farm is a fully operational commercial farm - not a tourist attraction. We welcome visitors to come to the farm and enjoy the genuine farm atmosphere.
We open to the public so that you can come and pick the longans from the tree yourself. All trees are small so you can pick fruit from the ground – no ladders.
We weigh the fruit that you pick and then charge you based on a set price per kilogram of fruit picked.
Current Price:
Longans are $8 per kilogram and we only have cash facilities, no cards. There is a $1 per adult entry fee.
Varieties:
Longan varieties are Kohala and Haew (How)/Chompoo.
What to bring:
Hat, sunscreen, suitable shoes for walking in a paddock, insect repellant,
Secateurs (like the ones you prune rose bushes with) – if you don’t have any, we can provide them. We take a $10 holding deposit that we refund when you return the secateurs. (Sometimes when we are really busy we run out).
Bags or containers for the fruit – we can provide plastic bags (free of charge)
Drinks: Bottled water is for sale
Picnic: We have a grassy areas where you are welcome to have picnics– bring chairs/blanket to sit on.
