Ripe N Ready Cherry Farm at Red

Dissapointing. Purchased ready picked cherries only to find the quality poor when we got home.

Very rude, inconsiderate staff!
We drove 1 hour to the farm to pick up the cherries with the child. We called before leaving and the voice message advised that the u-pick is available and no booking is required. However, on arrival we were told that the voice message was not updated due to technical issues and no u-pick is available from today. Our 5 year old just wanted to spend literally 5-10 min and to pick up a couple of cherries. Despite us offering to pay $20 for a few minutes just for a child to have the promised experienced and the fact that their voice message was incorrect we were not allowed to do so. And this is despite the staff member picking up cherries for the order herself at that time! Would it have hurt her to have us for 5 min nearby with the kid to pick up a few cherries? ! We were sooo appalled by the behaviour that didn't even want to buy any picked up cherries from their shop!

We been there on Sunday, was busy but not many cherries are left, most of with fungus, not eatable, very disappointed.rather buy from supermarket.

They open the farm up in sections. So when we visited we first saw a section that had no good cherries left, but as we walked further up we saw sections with plenty of trees that had big ripe cherries.

It’s $18 a kilo (they raised the price) but they will measure how much you pick at the end, and you pay accordingly. So you may only pick 1/2 a kilo if needed.

Also, The U-Pick experience only includes cherry picking. If you try to be sneaky and pick some mulberries, the worker will come and passive-aggressively yell at you.

Overall, a good experience but not worth returning considering the price.

I visited this farm today. There was not much berries or plums to pick but we found a lot of cherries. It was a fun experience to climb ladders to pick fruits on top of the trees. I saw some dandelions there and they were fun to blow. The place was natural and beautiful! ️️

Great little farm with a lovely selection of their own grown fruit and veg. Cherries range from standard to premium quality and they also have lovely berries. Fresh garlic is also always a winner. Worth the stopover.

Cherries small, not tasty sweet
scary customer service and rude racist owner,
Not every Asian went your farm do stealing!
Beware! I will Never wanna be there again

Very good and sweet staff was friendly I just went there yesterday.will go back every year

Positives - Nice cherries, even with all the people picking.
Cons - no place to fill up water bottles and staff weren’t helpful when I asked about it. Only three bathrooms that had long lines when we went and it’s a good 10-15min walk to bathrooms with little kids (mine walk slow). And for some reason there was a really terrible garbage/sewage smell the day we went.
FYI - Entry free is only for cherry picking - not other fruits. Only chickens were visible, no info given on where ducks or bees were located.

Scammers at its best. $20 entry fee charged for pick and eat. $18 per kg if you want to take home. Cherries were not reachable and the good section was cordoned off. It was not worth the $80 paid for entry. There are fairer places out there to visit. Definitely never again here!

Service is terrible but cherries are ok. Very expensive to get in.
The family who operate it are not really people people.

Be super careful with the good reviews here. We didn’t plan to pick any cherries as it was 4pm in the arvo so just parked outside and walked downhill to the “farm shop” to purchase some cherries.

The boxed cherries looked awful and ridiculous for the price ($35/kg and $60/2 kgs) so didn’t buy any. Walked back to where we parked which was next to the main road but have been told to pay $20 pp for entry fees otherwise it’s “trespassing”, or taking the 3km detour and walk next to the 80km speed main road without sidewalk.

There was no sign at the gate which is super confusing, once enter the gate you are essentially in the cherry picking area. They should just put a sign at the front saying once entered it’s $20 pp for entree fees (we would not have come in the first place).

The cherries looked awful otherwise would have happily purchased a couple of boxes at least.

The best cherry in Victoria, It's so juicy and sweet. No need to book, just visit it directly.

Nice local cherry picking joint. You can either pick or buy prepackaged berries. Friendly staff.

How awesome! The most delicious cherries we've eaten. Staff were super friendly. In and out with 1.9kg of self picked cherries in about 20 minutes. The kids loved it too.

Went yesterday and were lucky enough to be the last people to enter for the day (~11am). It was my kids first time cherry picking and they absolutely loved it. There was enough small trees with fruit ready to pick at their hight. I didn't find it crowded as some other visitors have mentioned. Be mindfull there is a cap on how many people can be allowed entry for the day (COVID thing). Friendly staff but buying cherries from the farm gate was pricey even though the fruit is sweet.

A farmer once told me
The best cherries are the one picked just when the sun is about to come out
The cherry is nice and cool and you can taste it by admiring the sunrise
Nothing can replace driving where everything is growing and buy directly from local growers.

Super fresh cherries direct from the trees and a great experience for family and friends. Lying under the dappled shade eating natural fruit has got to be one of the most sublime experiences. A great and relaxing day out.

I bought some on the week end at $20 a punnet sorry to say but only the top ones were fresh the rest were going mouldy. Took them back and got a refund. I wanted fresh cherries not a refund. Very disappointed as I bought 3 punnets and they were all very old cherries. Unless you pick your own. Be carefull buying of the counter.

One of the worst cherry farms I’ve been in rude and aggressive staff. Small farm with very little fresh cherries and is overpriced and not worth it.
