just nothing like picking your own strawberries and eating them fresh full of flavor say no more and the kids love doing this

You won't want to buy strawberries at the shops again after picking your own here and eating them while they're still warm from the sun ... We took our 4 year old twins and they had a fantastic time choosing which berries to pick. It cost $16 per kilo of berries, which isn't actually cheaper than the supermarket at the moment, but the taste was BY FAR better than the store-bought ones. After picking, you take them to the store to be weighed, then there's a washing station by the park so you can rinse them before you tuck in.

There were two giant haystacks especially for the kids to climb and jump on, as well as a playground, coffee shop, production line viewing platform and gift shop. We had a wonderful morning there and will visit again many times before the season is finished I'm sure. It was a great way to teach the kids about the origins of the foods they eat!

Approximate cost: $16/kg

We've attended here many times. I actually thought it was great and reasonably priced until moving to Melbourne. It is a lovely strawberry field, but the fact that you arent allowed to eat whilst you pick, ruins the fun. It feels more like the works of a corporation, which the melbourne farms don't have. They also just have the one type of berry for 12-15 to pick or the secong rate or jam quality for5-10pk and sometimes as little as $2pk for jam when they are water damaged (a bit squishy and inedible).
The store is really quite lovely. They have the most gorgeous icecream which is a must to eat and the dessert cabinet is full of goodies. They have cool drinks available and although there can be a line to the counter on weekneds, the young girls are always very friendly.
Another qualm I have is the fact that they only allow picking from the patches that have used pesticides. I was always under the impression that the berries were chemical free as I'd purchased strawberry fields commercial berries that were certified organic from a market. This is actually only a small patch for commercial sales and isn't available to purchase onsite.

Approximate cost: $12-15

We recently visited here after seeing a sign advertising it near the highway we were driving on. We picked our own strawberries and some of them were very large. They were sweet and so much better than you buy in the shops. The staff were very friendly and we were able to view the production line where the strawberries are packed from a viewing platform. We had a lovely time there and I am sure it would be a great outing for children.

Approximate cost: $You pay by the kilo.

I last took the kids out to strawberry fields in november last year and am waiting for the strawberries to come on so that we can go out again. We always get a few punnets from the girls behind the counter and pick our own, the kids love picking them and it is always relaxing as long as you dont go mid day in summer when its really hot. You can usually buy ready packed strawberries too from the shop there and they have the first grade ones and often ones that are not first grade for sale too which are a bit cheaper and can be used on desserts etc. they sell cold drinks too which we have got when its hot. strawberries are always a decent price too.

Great strawberries! They are soooo much nicer picked fresh from the patch. Had a birthday party here and it was lovely. Nice play area, and the kids love the giant tire.

Strawberry fields is a great place for a day out, it is very peaceful out there, you can either pick your own strawberries or buy the already picked ones, they also have strawberry themed bits and pieces and ice cream and drinks tpetc
