Pick your own fresh produce in Wingello, NSW
Genuine, currently-operating pick-your-own chestnut farm in Wingello (Wingecarribee Shire), same LGA as existing DB entries Southern Highlands Flower Farm (Penrose), Moira's Paradise (Fitzroy Falls) and The Dahlia Patch (Alpine) -- confirms illawarra-southern-highlands region fit. Confirmed via the farm's own official site (pinehavenchestnutfarm.com), which has a working Pick-Your-Own page and detailed FAQ with 2026 season dates, pricing, address and facilities. Not a duplicate of any existing listing (no other Wingello/chestnut farm in the DB). Two caveats: (1) The candidate's originally-supplied domain, pinehavenchestnutfarm.com.au, does NOT resolve (DNS lookup fails, connection refused) -- it appears to be a dead/lapsed domain; the live, current site is the .com (no .au) version, which I've used as the website field. (2) Phone number is inconsistent across sources: the farm's own FAQ/contact page states 0428 583 630 (used here), while several third-party local-business aggregator sites (place-advisor, aussiefunadvisor, australian-local, etc., all apparently scraped from one stale source) list 0493 655 430, and the original top10.australia247.info URL slug embeds yet a third number, 0412 127 000. Given the aggregator sites look like mirrors of one old data feed, I trusted the farm's own current FAQ page, but this should be spot-checked before publishing. cafe_onsite left null: FAQ mentions 'beverage sales' and an on-site chestnut roaster but does not describe a proper cafe. Facebook page exists under the same name but its content could not be scraped beyond the page title in this check.
701 Bumballa Road, Wingello NSW 2579. From Wollongong, this farm is in the Southern Highlands and Illawarra, around 90 minutes from Sydney.
Bring a hat, closed shoes, water and cash or a card for what you pick. Rows can be uneven underfoot, so a pram may be harder going in wet weather. This farm is listed as suitable for children.
