Tangaroa Strawberry Farm

Strawberry Picking

STRAWBERRY STATUS as at 2 November 2011 :: The Strawberry Season is here again and there are ripe strawberries to pick and eat this coming weekend. (The results of the rain that we have had will be evident in about ten days time!); the Tea Garden will be open from 09:00 for breakfast orders, delicious teas and light lunches. The FRAISE Restuarant, the Pamper Spa and Guest House are open by prior reservation only.......so call us during office hours to make your reservation.

(The Picnic facilities are open during our strawberry season and over the Valentine's weekend only. Please note that we will be CLOSED on 25 & 26 December 2011 and 1 January 2012.)

HOW STRAWBERRY PICKING WORKS:

• Organic Strawberry Picking is available to the public from 10:00 untill 16:00 every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday during the Strawberry season.
• The season extends from approximately late-September to early-December every year. Exact dates are dependant on the weather. Watch this page for notification.
• Keep an eye on this page for details of exactly when the Strawberry Picking will commence, as this is totally dependant on the availability of ripe strawberries.
• On arrival during 2011, a non-refundable entry fee of R50.00 per person (including children) is charged to enter Tangaroa Farm. (Babies under twelve months enter free.) This entitles you to picnic, use our braai facilities, or to pick organically grown strawberries and also mulberries when they are ripe.
• When the strawberries are in plentiful supply, (which is NOT always the case, especially as a direct result of the lack of rain), we will provide you with a container to put them in, before weighing, and charging at the going rate. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BEST TIME TO COME STRAWBERRY PICKING IS OBVIOUSLY FIRST THING ON A SATURDAY MORNING.
• During the strawberry season the Tea Garden is open from 09:00 for breakfast orders, light lunches and of course, many decadent strawberry delights that are served on Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays throughout the strawberry season.
• Throughout the year the FRAISE RESTAURANT at the Strawberry Farm serves superior meals by prior appointment only. (Join the facebook group Fraise@Tangaroa.)
• Picnic baskets are available DURING STRAWBERRY SEASON AND OVER THE VALENTINE'S WEEKEND ONLY, during the day or as a candle-light option in the evening, if booked and paid for, no less than 48 hours in advance. Your order and the appropriate reference details, along with the bank deposit confirmation, is required to enable the kitchen to prepare all the delightful goodies that make up the basket, or alternatively, during stawberry season, bring along your own picnic, or braai, and relax under the trees next to the dam on our farm.
• Special interest groups and school groups who would like to come strawberry picking are accommodated by appointment during weekdays throughout the strawberry season.
• Try our delicious homemade Strawberry Jam, or take home a beaded strawberry key ring or other momento of your visit.
• Please Note: As we have many animals that run free on our farm, we do not under any circumstances allow visitors' pets or other animals, at Tangaroa.
