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 If you find anything outdated or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 - We now have a pricing guide to help you know what
the typical prices are for each crop. Let me know when you see price changes! In 2022, you can save money by picking your own and canning your own, but brace
yourself for steep price increases, which are affecting EVERYTHING! For quality, taste, nutrition and value, you still can't beat most PYO farms. If need need
large quantities for canning, ask if they have "seconds"
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anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -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! This website is supported by purchases you make

Farm - olives, eggs, Grass fed, antibiotic free Black Angus

110 Trew Road, Woolamai, VIC 3995. Phone: 0409 252 373. Email:
[email protected]. Open:
olives from late April and May. 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.

possible. Come and visit us in the lead up to Christmas, and a
