Naturipe Fruits in Bacchus Marsh offers a delightful "pick your own" fruit experience that appeals to families and fruit lovers alike. This is a great place for a family outing and the kids really love it!
The orchard operates seasonally, opening its gates from November through May, aligning with the harvest periods of various fruits.
Visitors can enjoy picking cherries in November and December, stone fruits such as peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots from December to February, and a variety of apples from March to May.
Plan ahead to avoid disappointment: While you can just rock up to Naturipe it is highly recommended you give them a call beforehand to check on the availability of the fruit you are interested in. If Bacchus Marsh is some distance away from where you live this could save you a lot of time and heartache. You have been warned.
A tale of two: Naturipe has two farms so don't be surprised if you go the the wrong one. The Naturipe Strawberry Farm is a 3 minute drive and located at 534 Bacchus Marsh Rd, Bacchus Marsh.
While the main farm is at 638 Bacchus Marsh Rd, Bacchus Marsh.
Naturipe also sells some other food based products including honey, vinegar and jam.
As an experience picking the fresh fruit is quite a lovely activity and all the people are just so excited.
Entrance fees:
Fees and pricing: There is an entrance fee and you also pay for your fruit by the kilogram. Personally we find the pricing fair and appreciate able to have tree ripened fruit that is delicious and full of flavour as well as cutting out fees that go to predominantly Australia's supermarkets.
Different fruits have different pricing so please pay attention.
