樱桃是一家大小都喜欢的水果,可是超市里卖的吃起来又贵又没意思。在樱桃的季节里,最好的活动就是找一个农场自己采摘。这样不仅可以随便吃樱桃,体验采摘的乐趣,还可以让孩子远离各种屏幕,在田野里奔跑撒欢。
樱桃采摘季节从10月中旬开始,持续到2月中旬,但是最佳时间是11月下旬到圣诞节后。 以下我们总结了悉尼周边最好的采摘樱桃农场,离悉尼最近的只有2个小时的路程!
杨镇(Young)毫无疑问是澳大利亚的樱桃之都,而国家樱桃节则是这个樱桃之都的亮点。 每年它都在12月的第一个周末举行,今年是11月30日 ——12月2日。
这是一个非常有趣的节日活动,吃樱桃派比赛和吐樱桃核表演(The Cherry Spitting competition)是最受大家喜爱的节目。
Young当地有九个樱桃园向公众开放。
