Only an hour and a half's drive way from
Plettenberg Bay is the picturesque Redberry Farm in Geelhoutboom, George.
This beautiful location is home to the The Outeniqua Country Hop
Strawberry Festival 2013 which takes place at the end of September every year.
Set in one of the most beautiful parts of the
country close to Herold's Bay, Mossel Bay and Wilderness, the Strawberry
Festival is one of the most popular family events of the year attracting both
locals and visitors who come along to experience a day out in the fresh air in
a safe, farm environment. Proceeds go towards the on-going marketing of the
route and local charities and it creates fantastic employment opportunities for
the local community.
There is always a wide variety of stallholders exhibiting
excellent food, superb local wines and cheeses, fresh fruit, vegetables and
herbs as well as a superb variety of arts and crafts. There is plenty of
entertainment to keep both young and old busy. The beer tent is always a hit
for those too old for the miniature steam train, the 'strawberry express' and
‘bubble balls’ on the dam. There is also a new Trail run through the stunning
district for the athletic and pony rides, strawberry picking and strawberry
eating competitions, paint ball target shooting, jumping castles and tractor
rides to keep everyone entertained all weekend.
So if you’re visiting Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve this
September, be sure not to miss the Strawberry Festival for guaranteed family
fun in an outdoor farm environment!
