I am writing this review out of atmost sadness outside the gates of huntley berry farm. This is the first time I am writing a negative review out of sadness and deep disappointment.
We drove all the way from Sydney for fruit picking stopping farm by farm. This was the last farm we visited for the day. We were initially impressed that it was a disability supporting place. Every one was friendly there. We donated extra money on top of the strawberries we picked. In the end we went to have some icecream as we always believe in leaving the best to the last.

Go and enjoy the...
   Read moreWe had a great time with kids. So many berries, so many varieties. There were farm animals as well. Carers were really nice.. High five to the kid who walked my kids everywhere in the place showing & explaining everything.. He was such a kind boy. We were initially shocked to see prices on the notice board (30$ per kg most of the berry types which is way more than supermarket prices) so we didn't collect as much as we wished. But later the price we were charged was actually lower. I think you guys should display the actual price you charge so people won't be put off by big numbers.. Experience was priceless though. Highly recommended if you come...
