“Super yummy 100% natural and healthy Strawberry picking!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We spent a glorious hour picking our own strawberries at a very fortuitous time of the year where they allow this (end of the season). Our little boy had a wonderful time helping us and they are so yummy. Even if you can't pick your own it is highly recommended to visit and buy their strawberries, jams, balsamic vinegar

“Best Ice Cream Ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

I love my ice cream and I've stopped off at a few ice cream farms on my NZ travels but Mary's was by far the tastiest. She's great a chat as well but my god, she deserved that award. Keep it up Mary, hope ye get the rain you were hoping for as well!

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

We totally agree that Mary deserves the award for the Business Woman of the Year 2011 and maybe also for the year 2012 ! The best strawberries in NZ! Her ice-cream was delicious too and the tour was excellent! Thank you Mary for educating us today!

“The best strawberries ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We visited on a sunday so missed the farm and caught up with the strawbs at the local farmers market, which also was truely awesome. We demolished a large punnet greedily in a very short time. I will dream about these little gems for years to come. I may even visit blenheim again just to go the farm.
