Seasonal family farm in Maffra open October to May with strawberry picking, a petting zoo featuring goats and lambs, and an on-site kitchen serving nachos, sliders, iced coffee, and fresh ice cream.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families willing to make the Gippsland trip for a genuinely hands-on farm experience - strawberry picking, feeding lambs, and fresh food in one stop. The October-to-May season means it fits school holiday periods well. Allow at least two hours - reviewers who come expecting a quick visit consistently end up staying longer.

βIf you love good food, good service, animals, and strawberries - then this is the place for you! I absolutely loved it here. Stopped in on a road trip as something different to do and it was better than we were expecting. The food & drinks (nachos & sliders, iced coffee and strawberry thickshake) were delicious. (We spent Barbour $25-$35 per person per meal). Only thing to note is their website says they stop taking orders at 2:30 - we were there on a Thursday and it was 2pm that they stopped taking orders - we got there at 1:50 and just made it. Picking the strawberries was so much fun and we got some amazing delicious strawberries from it. They have a petting farm for $5 a person and that provides you a bag of feed for the animals. We chose not pay but just walked along the fence and adored from a far the cute baby goats. Beautiful scenery - highly recommend taking your pit stop here next time instead of the highway Maccas.β

βWe took over 2 hours to drive here because I had see something on Tik Tok or Instagram and although it was extremely windy today we were not disappointed. First up we picked a punnet of strawberries π I love that they donβt spray them. You pay $3 each to enter and then pay per punnet size. Then the petting Zoo, the funniest experience definitely worth the $5 each. I could have played with the animals for ages. The highlight - Strawberry slushie and the scones. The Slushie delicious soooo good. The scones soft and fluffy just perfect. Service excellent and a fun place to visit. Great job to the team β€οΈβ

βHad an amazing experience at The Berry Dairy! Strawberry picking was so much fun, and the farm has lots of animals you can feed and pet (for a small fee), which is perfect for families and friends. The food quality and portion sizes were great, though the service was quite slow and could use some improvement. Overall, a fantastic day out - highly recommend!β
