Strawberry Picking - $5 per kg, no entry fee, no minimum spend
Zaknich Farms (one of New Zealand's premium growers) has opened one of their farms for the first time for picking your own strawberries located at 125 Waitakere Road, Waitakere, Auckland (near Waitakere Township).
Only $5 per kg, no entry fee, no minimum spend. Season to end mid/late January.
We also highly recommend you bring your own shallow containers to pick in to, as this will be the best way to transport your berries home, as you don't want them to turn into jam from the summer heat by the time you get home. Even better, if you have chilly bins/cooler bags with ice to cool down your berries as well.
Happy Picking!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
