Pick Your Own & What's In Season

At Ellia's Garden, spend a day picking your own fruit and vegetables straight from the gardens. It's a great outing for kids, who love seeing where their food comes from and learning about the plants and crops we grow.

Pick Your Own — part of the farm day

At Ellia's Garden, picking your own is part of a relaxed day on the farm—not a rushed checkout. Park behind the shed, grab a basket, and hop on the tractor to the drop-off. From there, the farm is yours to explore.

Pick your own fruit and vegetables wherever they're ready that day, then take your time—wander the walking tracks, soak up the mountain views, cool off in the river, and enjoy everything else there is to do.

When we're open, grab a basket and knife at the welcome shed and pick whatever's ready.
