Berry Picking

High Grove Berry & Cherry Farm, a hidden gem nestled amidst the picturesque slopes of Stanley only 10 minutes’ drive from Beechworth, is the perfect spot for anyone seeking a taste of the good life. Here, the raspberries, tayberries, blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, loganberries, and red currants are the stars of the show. You have the opportunity to pick as many as you want and eat until you're satisfied—just don’t wear any nice clothing as they will likely get stains.

The picking season at High Grove is generally between mid-December and late January. However, Mother Nature can sometimes be unpredictable, so it's always a good idea to check their Facebook page for the latest updates on what's ripe and ready for picking. This ensures you get the best possible experience and a bounty of delicious berries to take home. Before you arrive, this is the perfect excuse to get into that big tub of ice cream you see at the supermarket as you will need a container to put the berries that you want to keep in.

After a successful picking adventure, extend your day trip by exploring the nearby Lake Sambell Reserve. This scenic spot offers a variety of activities like lakeside relaxation, walking trails, and for the adventurous, the lake is perfect for swimming, canoeing, or kayaking. High Grove Berry & Cherry Farm is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a chance to connect with nature, and create lasting memories with loved ones. So, pack your hat, sunscreen, and a sense of adventure, and head to High Grove for a day filled with delicious berry picking, breathtaking scenery, and a touch of country charm. For the Instagram models, remember not to forget the camera for absolutely stunning photo opportunities!
