A family-run berry orchard on State Highway 3 in Piopio, in the King Country. Angela and Mike Roy began planting strawberries here in 1993. Visitors can pick strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries in season, and the orchard shop sells berry ice cream, real fruit ice cream, coffee, berry smoothies, jam and homemade berry muffins. The berries are hand-picked and sold straight from the orchard.
The orchard is open daily from 9am to 5pm from Labour Weekend until April. We hear it is closed for winter and will reopen in October. Frozen berries and a winter collection can be arranged in advance, and are paid for by card or cash on pickup. Delivery is not available. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the designated picnic area, and there is plenty of parking and grass. The shop building is for people only, except identifiable service dogs. Our pick in Piopio for a summer berry pick with an ice cream.
