Frances Strawberries shuts up shop but owners don’t blame COVID-19 restrictions
South Australian pick-your-own-fruit farm Frances Strawberries has closed its doors due to inconsistent customer visitation, but the owners aren’t blaming COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Key points:
- After five years Frances Strawberries has closed its doors
- The owner says the visitation was too inconsistent
- Frances is located just a few kilometres from the Victorian-SA border
Owner Samantha Frost said the operation “just wasn’t working”.
“We’d love to be able to offer what we currently do, but it’s just not profitable in its current structure,” she said.
“I spoke to a number of people and one person particularly said, ‘It’s not what you bring into your bank account, it’s what you keep.'”
Ms Frost did not put the closure down to Frances’ proximity…
