Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Victoria, Australia? Farms are open and safe! Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Victoria, Australia, sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name  (see "What does Organic mean?"). The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!

New! Pricing information - I am building a pricing guide to help you know what the typical prices are for each crop. Let me know when you see price changes!
 If you are having a hard time finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.

New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best camping weather.  See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks, guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

We have 800 olive trees around 16 years old in a grove at Woolamai where our chickens in their caravans spend the summer with superb protection from the summer sun and heat. We are excited to have our first crop of table olives and our very own olive oil in 2019. We have four varieties of olives being Kalamata, Picual, Manzanillo and Corregiola. Come to our farm to collect some organic olives to take home and cure in a salt brine or dried in salt as you wish. We will have the recipe for you to follow. You can buy your salt and container on the day. Entry includes 3kg of olives that you've handpicked. No charge for children. We have free range chickens in caravans so you can also take some fresh eggs home too. We have 750 hens foraging and scratching around in our olive grove or in paddocks vacated by our Angus cattle. We use the term "pastured free range eggs" to differentiate ourselves from "free range" which we feel has been hijacked by the supermarkets. Free range can mean stocking densities of 10,000 hens/hectare and we do not believe that is what our customers understand as free range. So when you see "pastured" eggs you can be assured that our hens have access to pasture 360 days per year. Click here for a link to our Facebook page.
