Two-hectare property with 1,000+ apple trees and grapevines at 77 Clarke Road, Ob Flat, just outside Mount Gambier, run by Troy and Kelsie Prowse. Confirmed via the farm's own website plus three independent tourism sources (local attractions guide, Visit Limestone Coast, official South Australia tourism site) as a real, currently-operating business. It functions primarily as a private events/wedding venue with catering and bar service, but genuinely offers hands-on pick-your-own apples: official site states 'Please contact us if you would like to come pick your own apples,' and the farm holds occasional public open days during the Feb-Apr apple season (announced via Facebook) with tearooms available. No fixed public opening hours or pricing could be found in any source, so access is by arrangement/announcement rather than a regular schedule -- flagged as 'unconfirmed' status for that reason despite the PYO offering itself being genuine. Not a duplicate of any existing listing; no existing region fits (nearest are Fleurieu Peninsula and Riverland, both geographically distinct), consistent with discovery's suggested new Limestone Coast / South East SA region.
Typical windows only — call ahead to confirm what's ripe.

Getting there
77 Clarke Road, Ob Flat, SA 5291. From Adelaide, this farm is in the Limestone Coast and South East, around Mount Gambier, about 4-5 hours south-east of Adelaide.
Single ticketed pick-your-own event held once a year in autumn (e.g. Easter weekend in 2025, March long weekend for a subsequent season) — exact dates vary year to year and are announced on the farm's website/Facebook.
Price
$89 AUD per person per ticketed time-slot (confirmed 2025 season pricing via archived product page); price is per person for the booked session, not per bucket. Visitors asked to bring their own bucket to take flowers home in (farm provides snips and a bucket to pick into on-site).
Open
Not open for general/casual walk-in visits — farm's own Facebook page states 'visits only for pre-booked workshops.' The Pick Your Own Dahlias experience is a single dated ticketed event per year (multiple timed sessions across a weekend, e.g. Sat/Sun), sold as tickets via the farm's own Shopify store. As of this check (July 2026) the PYO product page returns 404, consistent with being off-season/between annual sale windows rather than the business having closed — the rest of the site (shop, blog, homepage) is clearly live and current.
Seasonal pick-your-own open days during the January-February sunflower season; specific dates/times are announced on the farm's Facebook page rather than fixed hours. Outside open days, cut flowers can reportedly be bought by arrangement, and bunches are sold at local Mount Gambier businesses.
Business-directory listing (Cybo, aggregating Google/Facebook data) shows farm gate shop open Thu-Sat 9am-3pm, closed Sun-Wed. Separately, 2018 regional press described the farm gate shop as open seven days a week in-season, with the gates specifically opened to the public for pick-your-own on Boxing Day and New Year's Day each year, until stock sold out. Current pattern not independently confirmed - call ahead.
