Pick
Your
Own
ripe red raspberries, the best
way to get your berries, fresh from the bush for the entire season.
Pick Your Own means exactly that. You wander amongst the raspberry
rows picking the fruit that you want.
We call it,
"the
Cheapest way to get the
Freshest
fruit"
Seasons
Click the Raspberry above for Information on the Current Season
Summer
Season
This season commences
in early December and continues until the end of January. The peak
of the season occurs from late December to the middle of January
Autumn
Season
The Autumn season produces a smaller crop than summer
time but for a longer time, Autumn raspberries start in late March
and continue until June with the best picking during April and May.
Once at
Kinglake Raspberries enter the Pick Your Own shed and all will be
revealed to you. We can supply you with a PYO Basket that holds
about 1Kilogram of berries (That's 5 Punnets, if you get them at
your local greengrocer) and then direct you to one of the 8 blocks
of Raspberries. We will even demonstrate how to pick if you've never
done it before. Each block of Raspberries has between 3000 and 6000
metres of rows so you should be able to find all the fruit you need.
Please feel free to bring along your own container and if you have
any questions the people at the shed will be happy to answer them
for you.
What
should I Bring?
Bring Mum, Dad, the Children, Grandma and Pop, Aunts and Uncles
and anyone else you can think off. Sensible footwear, Hats and Sunscreen
are a good idea.
What If I don't want to Pick?
Don't worry, if you feel that picking is all too much, then you
can choose from our selection of freshly picked raspberries (picked
daily) at the shed. As well as fresh berries, Kinglake Raspberries
also grow and produce a range of Australian Grown
and Australian Made products. These include Frozen Raspberries,
Silvanberries and Blueberries and of course there's Homestyle raspberry
jam, desert sauces and raspberry vinegar.
What else can I do in Kinglake?
Kinglake is surrounded by one of Victoria's largest national parks
so you can always have a picnic after you have been picking but
if that doesn't appeal then stop off at the local pub or one of
the restaurants for a meal. There are nurseries to wander through
and craft shops to browse. On your way home why not go back to Melbourne
via the Yarra Valley and visit one of the wineries stopping to sample
some of the world class Wines.
