The Giving Farm Blueberry Picking
A great way to spend some time on the weekend is to go blueberry picking. Not only do you get some lovely fresh blueberries, but you spend a relaxing time in the outdoors away from the city.
How to Get There
Located on Durren Road, Jilliby on the New South Wales Central Coast, The Giving Farm uses organic farming practices to supply fresh fruit and veggies. Parking is available on the road outside the farm, but don’t worry it’s only 50m to the blueberry patch. Currently, booking is required to ensure only a safe number of people arrive at one time, so ensure you do this before going.
Blueberry Picking
On arrival, you are met by the friendly owners, who explain the farm and how to pick the berries. You get as many punnets to fill as you want, which you pay for as you leave. Currently it is a requirement that you wear a mask while at the farm and while picking the berries. With twelve different varieties to choose from, we took half an hour to fill a punnet while wandering around the rows of bushes.
Other Activities
When we arrived, the field across the road had horses next to the fence, so we took some photos of them. Before leaving, we met the new additions to the farm, some milking goats, who were very friendly.
Throughout the year, the activities change, ranging from tulip and sunflower to strawberry picking.
