Open every weekend - midday till 4.30pm until the berries finish, probably after Easter if the weather is good.
HEAPS of berries, the rain has plumped them up nicely. Bring a carrot for the cows, meet the sheep, alpacas, emus and geese and of course have a real fruit blueberry ice cream or ice block. Looking for a gift with a difference, we have some lovely art work by a local in the valley and beautiful pottery. Honey from our hives and honey comb, blueberry jam and blueberry fudge and of course plenty of room for the kids to run around and let off steam…….
