phillip island strawberries, cowes
/
Strawberry lovers you will be in heaven when you walk into this little netted farm, surrounded by over 4000 plants! The sweet aroma will have you salivating to sample one of these super red and super delicious strawberries.
This is Phillip Island's first strawberry farm to use a hydroponic vertical tower growing system. Which means there’s no prickly spikes getting in the way of picking fruit and they’re all around your eye level making them more tempting and easier to reach! Please note - for the time being, U-pick is currently not available, but you can definitely walk around and be offered samples and their farmgate is available to purchase. It will soon be available for U-pick - so keep your eyes on their socials here.
This farm, owned by the most lovely and passionate Phillip Island locals, is brand new and has only been operating for about one month. Owner Roger, together with is wife Faye, created this hydroponic farm after learning all about the vertical growing system and finding it fascinating. Coming from a plumbing background, he was familiar with the inner workings. His love for what he grows is clearly evident, and his hope to further the farm into supplying produce to local businesses is very inspiring. As well as strawberries, they also grow cucumbers, tomatoes and beans and are in the process of trialling other produce.
Head on down and have a chat and learn all about these systems, you may even be tempted to start your own, like Mamma!
