The Field Berry Farm
Visitor Information
We welcome visitors for berry picking during the raspberry season - from January to April.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year, starting in January, for the berry-picking season.
Join us on the 15th of December for our Reindeers & Raspberries Christmas Market. There will be holiday vendors selling unique locally made Christmas gifts. Don't miss the festivities, come hunt for the first raspberries of the season and do some Christmas shopping.
Please note due to the nature of farming, weather and crop cycles, we can never know how many berries there will be. To avoid disappointment, plan to come at the begin of the picking season and arrive early in the day.
Guests in wheelchairs kindly note that our facilities are wheelchair friendly however, there are no pathways in the berry field making it challenging to move freely in the berry fields.
We are open on weekends (between 09h00 -15h00) for berry picking during the raspberry season. The berry picking season will begin again in January 2025.
Don’t let the rain keep you away - pack your umbrella and gum boots! During berry season we are open even on cloudy days. Overcast weather is perfect for berry picking as it is not as hot in the fields. Pack your gum boots and umbrella.
