Phil Greig Strawberry Gardens
Phil Greig Strawberry Gardens in Kumeu has been growing strawberries for local and export markets for years, and the farm's gelateria is where families get to enjoy the results. The shop sells fresh strawberries alongside real fruit blended ice cream, frozen yoghurt, hand-crafted gelato, Belgian waffles, fresh fruit smoothies, and coffee — a line-up that gives everyone at the table something to deliberate over.

What it is
The pick-your-own operation runs seasonally, so it is worth checking ahead before planning a row-by-row adventure with small pickers in tow. Outside that season, the gelateria keeps things worthwhile on its own, and strawberries remain available in-store even when the fields are closed.
It suits families after a genuine farm-sourced treat rather than a manufactured experience — the kind of outing where the kids make a beeline for the ice cream counter and the grown-ups quietly do the same.
What other parents say
The staff are legends, the strawberries are lush and you can purplemaxx on the delicious real fruit icecream 💜 Such a beautiful escape from the city. Only a 30 min drive!! It literally feels like you aren’t even in Auckland. #itsbetterwithspark
We stopped here for ice creams and drinks. Real fruit ice cream. Great flavor ice cream options and yogurt ice cream as well. Gelato looked delicious. Great range of drinks on offer. Efficient service. Worth stopping for.

Tried the real fruit strawberry ice cream at Phil Greig Strawberries — absolutely delicious! 🍦 The flavor is fresh and natural, you can really taste the real strawberries blended in. It’s creamy, perfectly sweet, and so refreshing. The portion size is generous too! A must-stop spot if you’re passing by — nothing beats enjoying fresh berry ice cream straight from the source! 🌸🍓✨
$7 for the entry and $9 per kilo for the strawberries. They have a like food shop as well that sells ice creams, drinks and other things. Nice little afternoon spent. Strawberry field isnt far to walk (fantastic)
Fun day out! Great ice-cream and waffles, coffee needs some improvements. But overall great time. $8.50 for kg of strawberries you pick yourself. Despite being very busy, you don't have to worry about shortage of strawberries.
