Foraging and How it Works
Foraging for organic produce on The Strawberry farm
Around the end of September 2013, we started planting organic vegetables and other fruit for the public to come and pick.
The purpose of these vegetables is to educate a section of the public that has no idea where there fruit and vegetables come from, or what the plants look like.
We are going to open for the public to come and pick their own fresh veggies on selected weekends during the year, availability permitting.
Our entry fee for heading into the fields, be it to forage, (or to “have a quick look”) for the 2017 veggie season is R20 per Adult and R15 per child under 12
During Strawberry picking season, our Strawberry Season Rates apply!!!
The vegetables will be weighed and charged for at the exit from the fields.
Please note that we are not in full swing with the vegetables, and this will take some time to be properly up and running.
We strive to continually plant a variety of organic, heirloom vegetables as well as a variety of herbs for picking.
Winter was not kind to us in terms of growing our veggies for picking. We have recently planted new seeds and given a bit of time, these vegetables will be ready for picking. Some as soon as early as middle of next month, others will only be ready early next year, and some only end of next year.
We will announce when our veggie picking will commence, on this page.
So, keep checking out this page for updates on what is available and when.
At this time we will only be opening on certain days for the public to come and enjoy the natural goodness
of our organically grown fruit and vegetables, these days will be announced on this page.
Veggie picking will be available this weekend at the farm.
Happy Picking
