Rows of white igloo-style greenhouses march across lush countryside. Inside, red-ripe tomatoes climb on towering Jack and the Beanstalk-type vines and sweet succulent strawberries scale vertical latticed avenues. Everything's under cover in case of rain or cold.

Air-conditioned Cafe Red - BYO, no corkage - has budget-priced farm fresh brekkie/brunch, nutritious lunches, snacks, tea, barista coffee, cakes and Devonshire Teas with fluffy scones warm from the oven, lavished with natural cream and Ricardoes strawberry jam.

James, chutneys, salsas, passata and soups are among Ricardoes' big range of Sydney Royal Easter Show Fine Foods-awarded preserves - treats for home or as gifts. Produce from neighbouring growers; essential supplies for campers.

Pick your own strawberries flourishing at shoulder height. Adults reach out at arm's length; lower down, tiny tots easily access berries on the bottom rows. Pay only for what you pick.

Escape highway doldrums: no time-wasting detouring - and plenty of grassy spaces for kids to stretch their legs. Sealed roads; big sealed RV carpark.
