Strawberry picking is back at Bullsbrook Strawberry Farm after a three-year break, and the fields are bursting with sweet, juicy fruit. Pick Your Own opens from Thursday 14th August at 263 Old West Road, Bullsbrook, just around the corner from Perth’s Outback Splash. The farm will be open every day from 9am to 5pm until all the fruit has been picked, so get in early for the best berries.
Pricing is simple: it’s $15 per tray, which holds around 4.5kg of strawberries, plus a $2 entry fee per person. Up to five people can share one tray, and you’re welcome to eat as many delicious strawberries as you like while you pick. There’s no need to book ahead and EFTPOS is now available, so you don’t have to worry about bringing cash.
A few handy tips before you go: allow about an hour for picking, wear closed-in shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, and don’t forget a hat and sunscreen. The farm has basic facilities including a portaloo, though there’s no baby change area, so pack what you need and bring plenty of water. For families with little ones, a baby carrier is usually easier than a pram in the sandy ground.
Don’t let the weather put you off—Bullsbrook Strawberry Farm has upgraded, and all picking areas are now under high tunnels, so you can comfortably pick even if there’s a bit of rain about. Please note that no animals are allowed onsite for food safety reasons.
Parking is available on the verge just outside the farm entrance. It’s best not to drive into the field itself as the sand can be soft and cars can become stuck. Expect happy, strawberry-stained fingers and faces by the end—these berries are picked at peak ripeness, so they’re incredibly sweet and juicy compared to supermarket fruit.
Bullsbrook Strawberry Farm is at 263 Old West Road, Bullsbrook.
