Amazing! The berries were so juicy and plump loved supporting! I was very satisfied with customer service and how affordable it was. Had loads or fun with the family and will definitely be going back!

Positives: this farm is very close to main road and Olinda shops. Blueberries are plentiful and quick and easy to pick.
Negatives: entry to this farm is tru a very narrow gate, no parking area once you get there, but to get there you have to drive tru another even more narrower gate. It really only fits a Kia Pikanto, then you’ll have to drive out of there if you manage to turn your car around. That’s why they only work by appointment so they can move their car out of the way when someone is going there, which in my case they didn’t do.
When I mentioned it to the owner she said she’ll give me some paint to mark a parking spot.
Also do your own math kg/ $20. She was going to overcharge me by $23.

Beautiful farm. Can understand why these people are protective of their farm as others have stated, but it does not excuse the rudeness. I overheard them saying racist things about Chinese people.

Been in Australia over decades, first time seen worst service. Cash only black business. Worst attitude to customer.

Super rude lady ever met. Her picture can be found on their official website, be careful. Do not even get closer to her, she would be pi’s off unexpectedly. Worst customer experience ever. Not recommend at all.

My family and I have been going to Folly Farm Blueberries for many years. We always look forward to our weekly visits during Blueberry season. It is always a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Belinda and Rob could not be more welcoming. They are very protective of their farm, and rightly so, it is their livelihood. We consider ourselves lucky to have the best blueberry farm literally at our doorstep.

A nice family run blueberry farm. The owners had lots of time to talk to us about their crops and were very accommodating. Buckets were provided for picking. Such a calm space. The alpacas were an added bonus too. You do need to book into pick as there is limited parking space at the farm. The blueberries are just divine! We'll be back for sure!

The owner of this farm was very rude to us, I would never come back to this bullsh*t farm again. Just read the review down below, and you will find out how they piss off their customer. Seriously, you guys should go back to school and learn how to behave like a educated man.

Usually don't give bad reviews, but this is an exception. The owners abused the kids and told them to bloody get off his garden and out of his way (he obviously had a bad day). When I took him up on this he told us to get off his property. So we left. Overall not kids friendly, not welcoming, rude owner, and only one row of crop was open for picking anyway. Not recommended for anyone and these guys need to learn how to run a friendly business. Horrible experience.

Almost didn't go with the kids due to the reviews but found the hosts fine. We didn't let our children trample the host's only source of income though and then what I can only assume is get indignant when told off. After working hospitality for over a decade I can safely say that badly behaved kids aren't welcome in our restaurant. Surprisingly we don't want them trashing our property either.

Please update your operating hours online like how other businesses do. Called them during non operating hours cause there was no operating hours online and the lady who picked up was so rude. I even apologized and she was still so rude. You didn’t have to pick up the phone if it was after operating hours you know. Definitely not coming down to pick any fruits from their farm. I can imagine how rude they would be. No wonder they have such bad comments/review online.

Great place to do your blueberry picking. Friendly hosts and a great location. They provide buckets, and bags. Don't forget to bring cash!
