UPICK
Consider picking in the morning before it gets too hot!!
Bonus- Mt Dandenong is 4 degrees cooler than Melbourne!!!
U-Pick blueberries is situated in Olinda, high on Mt.Dandenong in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne, Victoria. Our blueberries thrive in the mountain climate where the rich soils, long winters and cool summer days produce exceptional blueberries. Be inspired by the beautiful surroundings, enjoy a few hours gathering your own berries….perhaps collect extra to freeze and enjoy over winter. We use no chemicals or sprays.
We grow blueberries and do not sell any other type of berry or produce.
