If your family loves fruit picking, GreenAcres Blueberry Farm in Neergabby is such a fun day out. About halfway between Perth and Lancelin just off Indian Ocean Drive, this family-run farm lets you wander the rows and fill your buckets with sweet, sun-ripened blueberries straight from the bush – they really do taste better picked fresh.
All of the bushes are grown inside huge shade houses, which makes a big difference on hot or breezy days. The shade keeps things cooler for little ones, and it also protects the fruit, so you’ll find plenty of berries to pick even when it’s busy. The plants are a great height for kids and adults – no climbing ladders or bending right down – and the wide, flat aisles are pram-friendly. Plastic sheeting covers the ground, so you’re not traipsing through mud or sand, and you won’t get bogged.
There is lots of on-site parking, and clear signage at the GreenAcres entry gate. A limestone driveway takes you to the blueberry shed where you check in with staff. They’ll run you through how it all works and hand over your picking bucket. When you’re done, you simply pay for what you’ve picked and transfer your berries into the 500g punnets provided or into your own containers if you’ve brought them along.
Entry is $5 per person, with children five and under free, and blueberries are currently $20 per kilo. Payment options include cash, PayID and EFTPOS, which is handy if you end up picking more than you planned – very easy to do when the bushes are loaded with fruit! Light snacking straight from the bushes is fine, but the farm asks visitors not to overindulge and to wash fruit before properly eating it later. They’re also understandably protective of their trees and irrigation, so children are asked not to run between the rows and to move carefully through the bushes.
On select days, especially Sundays, there’s even more reason to linger. The farm offers blueberry ice-cream along with a selection of farm goodies such as fresh eggs, honey, olive oil and young blueberry plants to take home and grow yourself, plus a few other seasonal treats. It’s the kind of relaxed, rural atmosphere where you can easily turn “just a quick fruit pick” into a slow morning out, with a snack in the shade and a wander between the tunnels.
GreenAcres Blueberry Farm is open for the 2025picking season, with multiple picking dates released across summer. Because fruit availability and weather can change things quickly, families are encouraged to check online and book before travelling. Follow GreenAcres’ event listing for current dates, times and ticket availability, and keep an eye on their social channels for any last-minute updates.

Kids love hunting for the biggest, juiciest berries, parents appreciate the shade and easy access, and everyone goes home with bowls full of blueberries ready for snacking, baking and lunchboxes.
