Smashastrawb

Real, established commercial strawberry grower in the Manjimup Southern Forests region (Smith Brook, off Franklin Road) that also supplies major WA retailers (IGA, Woolworths, Aldi, Costco). Runs a genuine on-farm pick-your-own weekend program in season — the farm's own homepage is literally titled 'Pick Your Own | Smashastrawb | Smith Brook' and the site has dedicated About/Price List/Reviews pages. It is also listed as an operator on southernforestsandvalleys.com, a genuine regional tourism association covering the Manjimup/Pemberton 'Southern Forests' district, and has positive customer reviews describing a picking visit ('a day out at smashastrawb'). Checked against the full existing farm list: not a duplicate — the two other Manjimup-area listings (Fontanini Fruit and Nut Farm, Truffle Hill) are different businesses (nuts and truffles, not strawberries). Caveats: the WebFetch tool could not load the farm's own site or Facebook page directly during this check (repeated failures), so details are drawn from search-engine snippets rather than a first-hand page read. Specific hours (Sat/Sun 10am–1:30pm) and the $5/$12 pricing trace to sources dated around December 2022, with no fresher confirmation found for the current season. Phone numbers surfaced via search were inconsistent across low-quality aggregator sites (three different numbers appeared with no way to confirm any against a primary source), so no phone is included — get it from the farm's current site/Facebook before publishing. Recommend a direct call or a fresh look at the live site/Facebook to reconfirm hours, address and season status before this goes live, as the original discovery note also flagged. Region: existing 'south-west-wa' region is anchored on Margaret River/Busselton/Donnybrook and already carries two Manjimup-area entries; this listing is placed in a suggested new 'Southern Forests' region instead per the discovery agent's reasoning, since Manjimup/Pemberton is a distinct, further-out, separately-branded tourism district — flagging for site owner in case they'd rather consolidate into south-west-wa instead.
