Drove there because bill-board on Kennedy Highway said open 7 days.
Got there and sign said,CLOSED. Open Wed to Sunday.
Need better signage for travellers and locals.

Highly disappointed with the curry pea pie and mushroom pie they were among the worst pies we have ever eaten, the pie making skills definitely need to be re-visited and the strawberry milkshake tasted fake with a strawberry on the edge of the glass that didn’t taste at all like it was sun ripened unless the strawberries this year had less sugar content, glad I didn’t buy a punnet if that’s what the strawberries taste like this year, I wonder why they don’t make real strawberry flavoured milkshakes being a strawberry farm? $4 for 250 g punnet is far from cheap when there is an oversupply of strawberries different story if they tasted better but that is not the case, I get a great satisfaction out of supporting local businesses but we definitely will not be recommending Shaylee‘s again, the staff were friendly the coffee tasted great, since talking to other friends they had the same opinion

I often buy the big 1kg punnets of strawberries from Shaylee, as they are the best! The strawberries are fresh and juicy, and not overpriced like the supermarket ones. The little store has yummy icecream and preserves.

Approximate cost: $15

I took a group of kids to pick their own strawberries. This is generally available from sometime in September until sometime in November, depending on the season.
The kids had a ball and picked lots of strawberries. I think they cost $10/kg and they were big and ripe and juicy. The tastiest sun-ripened strawberries we'd had in a long time - not like those watery things in the supermarket!
Staff were polite, despite their being a rush at the time. Oh, and the ice-cream is YUMMY!

I took my son, his Japanese girlfriend and my grandson to the Atherton Tablelands in early August 2010 hoping to hand pick some fresh strawberries at Shaylee Strawberry Farm, near Atherton.
Only after arriving there did we discover from the most unwelcoming pair behind the counter that picking starts in September. Not to worry I politely ask if it would be OK to take little 4 year old grandson over to the strawberry plants so he could see how strawberries grow.
Not a problem as long as you don't go past the multiple "No Entry" signs says Mrs Crabby.
Upon inspection it's more or less impossible to see any fruit as the signs are about 10 metres from the strawberry beds.
Grandson however skips past the signs and checks out the crop anyway, under the eagle eye of Mr Crabby who has surreptitiously appeared from the back of the shop to monitor the trespassers. I anxiously call grandson back just in case a rabid pack of alsation guard dogs are unleashed from somewhere or other.
Strawberries were on sale, one kg of "Resort" strawberries was $12.00 and they are very nice.
I was really amazed at the lack of courtesy, the folks there were downright hostile.
