Bilpin Fruit Bowl

Nice place and beatiful scenery. All the staff are so freindly. You can pick apple and eat them while picking. Entrance fee is 5AUD per head. You need to pay for the apples you pick though for 5AUD per kilo.

Fruit and veg super fresh. The apples are the most crisp I've ever tasted. I'm sure they would last for months if we didn't eat them all.I thoroughly enjoyed this trip.It is fairly expensive compared to buying at the green grocer, but it's all about the experience.

The place needed some love as it looked dated, and the kids' rides were not particularly safe for modern standards. But nevertheless, the kids had a good time picking their own fruits, which was the main reason for their road trip. The staff at the shop were friendly enough with a big queue they had.

Seriously worst pie for me ever...Apple and apricot inside were raw and very sour. Not even marinated.Some part of the base is not cooked.$20 each. What a rip off.

So much fun. Not just we had fruit, we also had the chance to get in to chicken shade and catch a chicken.

It was a quick stop off on the way home but there is a lot to look at. They have delicious food and lots of gifts for sale. The staff are very friendly.

Genuinely horrific experience.We went at about noon to the advertised strawberry picking. The ladies in the shop told us where to go so we walked down to the back, past the signs and open gates pointing us along, and queued up, only to be brusquely informed that we were too late (it turns out some of the people in the queue were purchasing their pickings while others were also being turned away). We understood so we thanked them and walked out to a lady reprimanding us for not coming earlier.Now at this point I brushed it off as them feeling harried while having a busy day (seeing as they were done before 12:30, it must have been a hectic morning). However my children (four and two) didn’t understand. The older was particularly distraught so he tearily asked if he could go to the strawberry greenhouse (maybe 20m away from the entry) and just take a look at the real life strawberry farm. I relayed this question to the ladies and was aggressively turned down; I was quite rudely informed that we were absolutely not permitted to go near it and the ladies then exchanged obvious looks of disbelief and disgust, muttering under their breath. They then made sure to watch us to make sure we didn’t go near it.Now at this point both my children were teary and I had to console them with promises of trying another time and asked if they would like to try the play equipment we’d walked past. The play equipment is dirty, in varying states of disrepair, clearly unmaintained and some was downright dangerous. I reluctantly let them play but quickly moved them into the shop when the younger one almost scratched himself on a rusty part.The apple pie was the proverbial cherry on top. The pastry was lacking - tasteless, low butter content, thin - and the filling was also bland - watery and not much of an apple aroma. The chicken pie was average but also didn’t seem to be made in store (and also wasn’t the one we ordered).Overall, horrendous. Don’t waste your time here; there are much better places to explore in the area, with better pies, prettier grounds (that are actually cared for), more fun equipment, more enjoyable experiences and - best of all - kinder people.

To start with, there is no washroom/ toilet near the fruit picking area, u cannot even wash your hand. Nearest toilet is next to cafe, at least 5 minutes walk in the sun from picking area.In addition, no bucket provided, only a tiny box that u have to purchase to fill for $10( same amount will be $2 outside).Not much strawberry to pick from and some visible worms crawling too.No obvious signs to inform u where is nectarine/ peach picking. Not sure where to go. Also very high grass to walk onPlayground is dirtyDoesnt worth the entry fee $20, especially after u see the worms u dont want to eat anymore.

I recently visited Bilpin Fruit Bowl Farm in Sydney and it was an amazing experience. The farm is located in a beautiful area and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The fruit picking experience was fantastic and the fruit was so fresh and delicious. They have a wide variety of fruits available and you can pick as much as you want. The farm shop also has a great selection of local produce and homemade jams and preserves. I would highly recommend a visit to Bilpin Fruit Bowl Farm to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience in Sydney."
