The first day the public got to pick their own raspberries was Boxing Day and 130kg was harvested, she said.
About 150kg of raspberries were harvested in two hours at the next open day.
"It’s been great."
A new shed, including retail space, was being built on the farm, on State Highway 87 between Mosgiel and Outram.
A decision was pending if the shop would sell ice-cream containing fruit from the farm, similar to the previous farm owners.
"We will see — it is a work in progress."
