A family-run vegetable and strawberry farm of about 140 acres on Boneo Road. Picking happens through the farm's ticketed 45-minute Pick 'n Ride Tractor Tours, which include picking strawberries and corn from the paddock, with carrot-digging offered separately. Tours run on the last Saturday of the month from September to April plus public holiday open days -- they are not a daily walk-in. The 8am-5pm daily hours are for the farmgate market and store only.
