Things To Know Before Visiting Strawberry & Organic Fruit Farms In Hong Kong
While strawberry-picking and farming is great fun for the whole family, these cannot be sudden, impulse trips! Almost all the organic farms in Hong Kong that offer strawberry, grape or corn picking are in Yuen Long and can be quite difficult to get to, so check the directions we have provided.
The Yuen Long farms are not too far from each other. Their websites are similar and when you call to enquire, many of them don’t answer their phones. It’s best to leave a voice message (in Chinese) or WhatsApp them before heading out to ensure that they are open and have slots available.
Remember that seasonal activities change so what is on the website may not necessarily be available and it’s best to double check. Strawberry picking season runs from early December to the end of March/early April but there will be other fruits and vegetables at other times. Similarly, prices change marginally every season. If the websites are not updated, follow them on social media for the latest updates.
