Shaylee Strawberries

Shaylee Strawberries is a farm-based food and leisure destination at Marks Lane in Atherton, on the Atherton Tablelands. The venue brings together a seasonal strawberry farm, Two Strawberries Café, a farm shop and Berry Lane Winery, creating a relaxed rural stop for families, day-trippers and anyone interested in locally grown produce.

Two Strawberries Café focuses on fresh, farm-inspired food and drinks. The menu draws on strawberries grown at the property alongside ingredients from the surrounding region. Locally roasted coffee, house-made gelato and sorbets, strawberry jam, cream-topped scones and desserts form part of the café offering. The style is casual and produce-led, with sweet treats taking a central place alongside coffee and seasonal café fare.

The farm shop extends the strawberry theme beyond the café. Strawberry jam, gelato, sorbet and Berry Lane wines provide several ways to take the farm’s flavours home. The winery produces strawberry-based drinks on the property, including liqueur and dessert-style wines. These products give the venue a distinct Tablelands character without turning the experience into a formal winery visit.

Seasonal pick-your-own activities add an interactive element to a visit. During the strawberry season, visitors can gather ripe fruit in designated rows and pay for the berries picked. The activity is suited to family outings and offers a direct connection with the farm’s growing cycle. Closed-in footwear is required, children need adult supervision, and picking may pause in wet weather. Only ripe red berries may be picked, with fruit returned to the counter for weighing and payment.

Shaylee Strawberries works well as a country drive destination from Cairns or as part of a wider Atherton Tablelands itinerary. The combination of café food, farm-shop products, seasonal picking and fruit-based wine gives the venue several points of interest, whether a visit centres on coffee and gelato or a hands-on farm activity.

The atmosphere is informal, family-friendly and closely connected to the surrounding farmland. Seasonal availability shapes the pick-your-own experience, while the café and farm shop provide a broader reason to visit beyond the strawberry fields. Checking current seasonal arrangements before setting out is sensible, particularly for anyone planning to pick fruit.
