$6 less at the shop
If the picking isn’t the point, the shop is quicker and $6 cheaper. With 3 children along it usually is the point: the shop sells the fruit, not the morning.
How a visit works
Most families are in and out in an hour and a half. Come early on a Saturday; the best rows go first.
Check the board
By 7am on open days it says which tunnels are open and when the fruit runs out. If it says don’t drive out, we mean it.
Pay at the gate
$3 a head from age 4, under-4s free, tap or cash. Take a tray for $16 and a tunnel number.
Pick under cover
The plants grow in raised troughs along a flat centre path, with a roof over the lot, so a wet morning still picks.
Or skip the rows
The shop sells pre-picked trays at $19 and jam seconds from $12, and holds pre-ordered trays at the gate.
From the families and the groups
Three notes from the season so far.
“In the gate at ten past eight on a Saturday with Ollie, 6, and Mae, 3. Two trays full by nine, Mae ate more than she picked, and tunnel 4 was thinning by the time we left.”
“Eighteen kindy kids on a Wednesday morning and every one of them carried their own punnet back to the bus. The teachers didn’t pay, and the booking was one phone call.”
“The board said Sunday was picked out, so we went Tuesday instead. Three trays, a box of jam seconds, and the jam was in jars by dinner.”

What people ask before they drive up
Are you open today?
Check the board at the top of this page. On open days we update it by 7am with the hours, the open tunnels and anything else worth knowing. When the tunnels are picked out it says closed, and we would rather you read that here than at the gate. The board on this page is a demonstration week.
What happens when it rains?
We keep picking. All four tunnels are covered and the troughs sit along a flat path, so a wet morning is still a picking morning. The board says “Open, tunnels covered” on those days. Bring boots for the car park.
Can we bring the pram?
Yes. The centre path in every tunnel is flat and wide enough for a pram, so under-4s can ride along while the rest of you pick either side.
Do you take cards?
Tap and cash at the gate and in the shop. Pay entry and trays on the way in, and anything from the shop on the way out.
How do group bookings work?
Group mornings run Tuesday to Friday for schools, kindies and playgroups. It is $7 a child with 15 children or more, and teachers come free. Every child picks into their own 500 g punnet and takes it home. Send the form with a weekday and a head count and we ring back to lock in a date. A group of 24 children is $168.
Can we bring the dog?
Please leave dogs at home. It is our rule for the tunnels, the shop and the car park. Assistance dogs are welcome; just let us know at the gate.
