We pride ourselves in growing the freshest and best-tasting fruit, picking our crop when it is at its peak for size, colour, taste and sweetness.
Perth Mango Farm
At The Mango Farm you PICK YOUR OWN!
It is no secret that fruit grown in a more temperate environment have a superior flavour and higher sugar content. Our orchard has been established much further south than typical tropical plantations. Perth’s cold winter has proved to be advantageous giving our fruit the edge when it comes to flavour and sweetness.
Carmel Cherry Farm
Cherry has to be one of our family’s favourite fruits! When I found out that there is a cherry farm here in Perth, I immediately joined their waitlist for cherry picking. Out of all the other fruit-picking farms that our family has done in the past, my kids are very happy to say that cherry-picking is their current favourite!
