Harvest the Fleurieu is a family owned & operated strawberry farm, market hall & cafe located in Mount Compass, South Australia. With three generations of farming knowledge and a passion for sustainable farming and supporting South Australia they pride themselves on producing some of the finest produce in Australia.
In 2012 the Sherry family purchased land in Mount Compass which saw the beginning of Harvest the Fleurieu. Their strawberry patch was opened to the public and their pick your own patch quickly became a favourite summer activity among locals. Some may even remember purchasing strawberries out of their little strawberry van which you can still spot on their farm.
After years of dreaming & planning, their biggest venture began with the build of a market hall & café in 2016. The market hall was set to be a hub for all things local & delicious stocking fresh produce and artisanal made goods from all over South Australia. The idea is after picking your own sweet strawberries, you could browse the market hall and enjoy house made treats as such fresh ice cream, hot bakery & mouthwatering pastries.
While sharing their passion for the Fleurieu, the Sherry family aim to always provide fresh, local produce & of course the tastiest strawberries & hope to continue this journey with their growing family for many years to come.
