Bidgee Strawberries and Cream are a family-owned farm providing customers with the finest quality strawberries. Their hydroponic farming methods allow them to produce strawberries sustainably with minimal environmental impact. The farm has progressed to a cafe and 20,000 hydroponic strawberry plants. Their homemade real strawberry ice cream is the perfect companion to the sweet berries. Check out the cafe's live bee hive, and hand-feed our Damara sheep to add an extra experience of country living to the visit. Enjoy the peaceful farm setting while indulging in sweet treats and some berry good times!
