There’s something so special about a summer’s day spent blueberry picking, and the Thistleberry Farm in Scotsburn is the perfect spot to do just that.

It’s one of those spots that feels simple and nostalgic in the best way — imagine the sun shining, buckets in hand, and the kiddos wandering between rows of blueberry bushes picking until their hearts are content.

There’s no booking required, which Mamma loves, and everything you need is provided when you arrive. Just a heads up that there’s a minimum 1kg pick per car park, making it perfect for families or groups heading out together. The farm is easy going and welcoming, and you can really take your time picking without feeling rushed.

On those really hot summer days, they’ve thought of everything. You can grab cold drinks and Zooper Doopers to cool everyone down, which is always a win with little ones. They also have outdoor kids’ games set up, so there’s plenty to keep them happy.

Mamma’s hot tip: always check their socials before you leave home for any updates to opening hours or conditions.
