Here is what Jay Berries has told us about cost: Entry fee (approx $5-8 per person in older sources) includes tasting and picking containers; produce weighed and charged per kilogram; tractor rides for extra fee. Prices here change with supply, and not every farm updates them publicly, so confirm before you travel.
Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, vegetables, spinach, bok choy, beetroot, radish, lettuce, zucchini, potatoes, cucumber, peas, beans, shallots, carrots, tomatoes, sweet corn, chinese cabbage, kohl rabi, pumpkins and capsicum is what Jay Berries is listed for, with a usual window of Oct-Mar (varies by fruit). A warm or wet run can pull that forward or push it back, so check the current state of the crop first.
Jay Berries is listed as suitable for children, based on the details we hold. Row surfaces and picking heights differ a lot farm to farm, so ask what's workable for your kids before you commit to the trip.
