If you've ever eaten breakfast at a fancy hotel or on a Qantas flight you've probably eaten Beerenberg. A South Australian institution, the family-owned company has been making delicious jams at its Adelaide Hills strawberry farm since 1975, and distributing them in cute miniature jars all over the world since the 1980s.
Although the brand now makes 75 different preserves, its strawberry jam remains the most famous, made fresh from the fruit picked from the farm's strawberry plants in Hahndorf, just 30 minutes out of Adelaide (Beerenberg actually means “berry hill” in German). Every year from November to April, you can grab a punnet and wander the farm yourself, picking your own fresh berries to take home for just $5 per person and $11.95 per kilo. There's no better way to spend a sunny day than wandering Beerenberg's picturesque strawberry patch, hunting down the perfect luscious berries to eat later.
