For more than 30 years, Dianne and Mark Benson have worked tirelessly to offer chemical-free berries from The Bramble Farm. They value health and don’t allow any chemicals to be used on the farm. “Our slogan is be berry healthy; all of our products are very healthy,” Dianne says.

Established in 1985, the farm has grown from 60 vines to about 10,000 vines of summer cropping brambleberries, and an additional 28,000 canes of summer and autumn cropping raspberries.

The Bensons offer a selection of jams, pickles, chutneys, marmalade, sauces (sweet and savoury), jellies, lemon butter, and cold-pressed honey and juices.  “I make them all by hand on site,” says Dianne.

Beehives on the farm will have you buzzing as you choose from young berries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, red currants, jostaberries, and - wait for it - brambleberries. Picking your own berries is also an option.

The jams are made from 80 per cent fruit, with no preservatives, artificial colours or artificial flavours, and that’s something the Bensons are justifiably proud of.  All their products are gluten and lactose-free and diabetic friendly.

Don’t be blue because winter doesn’t stop this berry farm. Berries are frozen during summer in preparation for winter sales. The couple’s winter promotion is a family value pack for $50 (save $17) that includes 1kg each of frozen blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.

Stop and enjoy the atmosphere with a coffee after browsing the produce all year around from 9am-5pm, seven days a week. It’s berry perfect.
