Orange NSW (Borrodell Lane, Mount Canobolas area). From Orange, this farm is around Orange in the NSW Central West, about 3.5 hours from Sydney.
Bring a hat, closed shoes, water and cash or a card for what you pick. Rows can be uneven underfoot, so a pram may be harder going in wet weather.
Check before you drive
Seasons shift with the weather. Always call the farm to confirm what's ripe and that they're open before you drive out.
