Easily found on SH1 just South of Timaru, the wagon load of huge Strawberries at the entrance is a pretty clear message you’ve arrived at the iconic Butlers Fruit Farm & Café.
As a young man Donald wanted to grow strawberries “because everyone loves them”. The first small fruit stall on State Highway1 was built of timber purchased using pounds, shillings and pence - the first sales were in dollars and cents! That was in 1967. So Donald is not new to growing strawberries and strawberries still remain his first love, but the berry farm also grows a number of other fruits. Renowned for their high quality fruit and produce, awesome coffee, delectable selection of cafe food, combined with friendly service, Butlers Fruit Farm is a destination for all.
Jackie and Donald Butler invite you to drop in and stay awhile. Their backpacker accommodation is open all year round.
