Upper Yarra residents may like to venture out to the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges in search of a day out this summer, where they will find Blue Hills Berries and Cherries, a family owned and operated farm.
The Chapman family have farmed in Silvan since 1894 and are best known for their quality fresh pre-packed berries and cherries and provision of ‘Pick Your Own’ or ‘U-Pick’ cherries.
A wealth of farming knowledge has been passed down through the generations to ensure you get the best quality fruit the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges has to offer.
At Blue Hills, create fond memories and delight in the experience of picking your own sweet, ripe cherries straight from the tree, whilst you relax and admire the beautiful views as you meander and explore the orchards.
This is available seven days a week during season times from mid/late November to early January.
A bonus on the weekends as there is live music and access to food trucks or you can BYO your own picnic.
Blue Hills unique ‘U-Pick’ cherry experience is available at two locations – 55 George Rd, Silvan and 30 Chapman Rd, Silvan.
For updated information and bookings you will need to book your session online at our website: www.upickberries.com.au
During season times you can also head to the Yarra Valley Farm gate store at 27 Parker Rd, Silvan.
The Farm Gate Store will be open every day during cherry season.
Purchase fresh pre-packed cherries and a selection of seasonal berries, or browse our gift shop and purchase our selection of locally made delights including jams, relishes, sauces, chocolates, honey, biscuits, confectionery and cordials. And why not select a ‘Blue Hills’ novelty gift such as a mug, fridge magnet or tea towel to remember your visit.
“A great day out for everyone”, see you there.
