Beerenberg Farm: Pick Your Own Strawberries and Taste the Flavours of the Adelaide Hills Guide
Beerenberg Farm is a family-owned strawberry farm and producer of delicious jams, sauces, and condiments, located in the charming town of Hahndorf. More than just a farm, Beerenberg offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages, allowing you to pick your own strawberries, sample their wide range of products, and learn about the history of this iconic South Australian brand. It's a perfect destination for a fun-filled day in the Adelaide Hills. The Beerenberg story began in 1839 when the Paech family emigrated from Prussia and settled in the Hahndorf area. Over generations, they cultivated the land, eventually establishing a strawberry farm in 1969. What started as a small roadside stall selling fresh strawberries has grown into a thriving business, renowned for its high-quality products and commitment to sustainable farming practices. The farm remains family-owned and operated, continuing the tradition of producing delicious food with passion and care. The highlight of a visit to Beerenberg Farm is the opportunity to pick your own strawberries (seasonal, usually November to April). Wander through the strawberry fields, selecting the ripest and juiciest berries to fill your punnet. Afterwards, head to the Farm Shop to sample and purchase Beerenberg's extensive range of jams, sauces, chutneys, dressings, and other gourmet delights. Enjoy a coffee or light meal at the Farm Cafe, overlooking the picturesque strawberry fields.
