Nockburra Creek Farm
Pick your own blackberries in Kingston-on-Murray, SA
Real, currently operating mulberry farm (former vineyard) run by Peter and Kerry Szabo at 14 Farley Rd, Kingston-on-Murray, marketed as Australia's largest mulberry farm; confirmed via farm website and Facebook business page (729 followers, matching address/phone/email). Core business is bulk frozen mulberries and mulberry products (jam kit $10, paste $5, pie kit $7, plus mulberry gin) sold online -- the official website itself has no pick-your-own information at all. Genuine public pick-your-own access is confirmed independently via a farm Facebook post dated 15 Nov 2025 referencing 'possibly our last picking day' of that season (29 reactions), corroborating a travel-blog claim (exploringsouthaustralia.com.au) of one October weekend per year for BYO-box mulberry picking -- note that blog's page is currently offline/parked so could not be directly verified, only via cached search snippet. Actual picking dates clearly vary by year (2025 activity extended into mid-November), so current-year dates, any pricing/entry fee, and booking requirements must be confirmed directly with the farm (phone 0407 186 616 or Facebook) before publishing. No source states facilities such as toilets, cafe, dog policy, or kid-friendliness.
