The Berry Farm

The Berry Farm, Margaret River

 aussirose Says:  The Berry Farm is south of Margaret River - turn off is about 4km's along Busselton Highway. This place would probably be best when the berries are in season. Anyway, we did a bit of jam tasting and bought a couple of nice ones and a hot chilli sambal. We've already tried... 

Interesting architecture

Interesting architecture, Margaret River

 TheWanderingCamel Says:  The range and variety of buildings housing the Margaret River wineries is worth a mention. Making wine is an industrial process, make no mistake, there's far more stainless steel involved than a romantic vision of deep cellars and miles of old oak barrels. Having said that,...

Berry Farm: Great scones!

Berry Farm: Great scones!, Margaret River

 trixee Says:  The Berry Farm sells a variety of gourmet food, fruit wines and vinegars. I'm sure they're all good, but we went there to have scones for afternoon tea, and it was absolutely lovely! The outdoor garden area was a little bit chilly being all under shade, but the ambience was...
