Fruit Picking in Sydney | A Seasonal Guide

Looking for the best farms to do some fruit picking in Sydney? Sydney is a great place to try fruit picking and there are several types of fruit to pick across the year. There are over 40 different farms offering experiences, ranging from apple orchards to strawberry fields, for at least two thirds of the year you will be able to enjoy a day of harvesting fresh fruits. And best of all you find plenty of options 90 minutes or less from the centre of Sydney.

There are over 10,000 hectares of fruit orchards in New South Wales.

Until a few years ago I had only been apple picking but since our grandkids arrived we have been back out checking out the fruit picking farms near Sydney for some family friendly fun.

Lots had changed since I last visited this topic and many websites still list orchards that have closed to the public. Some of my favourites are no longer open to the public so I decided to write up all my notes on the best places and times to pick fruit in Sydney. I hope you find them helpful.

Rather than an exhaustive list of every single fruit farm near Sydney we have stuck with our favourites so as not to overwhelm. Google can help you find more 😉

Fruit picking season in Sydney: when and where to go

Harvest conditions change due to weather or in recent years bushfire damage, so please double check the farms you want to visit before you head out.

The best time for fruit picking in Sydney is early summer through to the end of Autumn. This is when there is a good variety of fruits ripe for picking. You will find berries, stone fruits, and apples if you plan your trips between December and May. 

The most popular places to go fruitpicking near Sydney are Bilpin, on the way to the Blue Mountains, Kurrajong Heights, in the Hawkesbury region, and Thirlmere, located in the Wollondilly Shire just south of Sydney. 

These areas are all on the outskirts of the city meaning you don’t need to spend hours in the car to find fruitpicking opportunities regardsless of where you live in the city. You will however need a car as it’s all but impossible to go fruit picking on public transport.

The fruit picking season in Sydney typically runs from November to May.

And remember if you just want farm fresh fruit and are not that fussed about picking many of the farms and orchards have cafes to enjoy home made treats or farm shop to stock up and with ripe fruit to take home.

Apple picking is the most popular fruit picked near Sydney with Bilpin NSW, having a number of farms brimming with apples and a whole lot more for several months of the year. 

There is also a range of berries, with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries available in good supply both north and south of the city.  Stone fruits including peaches, apples, pears and nectarines have a shorter season but there are good opportunities in Thirlmere, south of the city. You will even find nuts in the Blue Mountains village of Mount Irvine.

Finally if the fruit picking urge strikes in winter, citrus fruits, especially mandarins and lemons are a good option.

Sydney Expert’s top two fruit farms for year round experiences

In a hurry? Here are our top two farms that offer a great variety of fruit and are open all year.

Canoelands Orchard

This 100 year old family farm has a great variety of fruit, farm animals to feed, tractor rides and space for picnics. They have a shop and cafe, with great coffee, if you don’t want to picnic. In season beautiful blossom trees make this a fantastic day out. Canoelands offers decent access for those with mobility challenges. Check their website for more details and for what’s in season now.

Bilpin Fruit Bowl

It’s hard to beat Bilpin Fruit Bowl for variety , they even have a good range of vegetables and some nuts to pick. Head to the cafe for a slice of one of their delicious fruit pies that feature what’s in season! They have a large shop where you can stock up on honey, cider and other kitchen essentials.

Fruit picking is a fun activity for families. Many of the farms also offer things like tractor rides and animal feeeding. There are sometimes lovely picnic grounds and facilities to help you make a day of it. 

The easiest spots for Sydney families is to go fruit picking are Bilpin or Thirlmere, depending on which part of the city you are starting out from. We have added details about

If you have younger kids then we suggest a berry farm, strawberry picking is available throughout the year and even works in bad weather as much of the picking is done under cover. Berrylicious strawberries at Thirlmere is a good option.

Before you head out for your Sydney fruit picking experience we suggest you consider these tips.

• Check if you need to book   – new government regulations mean that most farms limit the number of visitors per day. The first time I went apple picking I was surprised to find that the first three farms we visited required bookings. We were not prepared and ended up having to head to a local fruit shop to stock up. During school holidays this is even more important.
• Look over the entry requirements and accessibility – There may also have age restrictions – some farms do not allow younger children so check this if you plan on taking kids under school age. Some farms are more accessible than others when it comes to mobility requirements.
• Don’t wear the wrong shoes – Some farms may not allow open toe shoes for safety reasons but also the ground can be a bit mushy. A change of shoes might be handy if you are planning other stops on your day trip.
• Bring your own bag or containers to collect your fruit – it’s better for the environment and with plastic bags no longer available many farms don’t offer bags.
• Scissors – for some types of fruit it’s handy to bring a pair of sturdy shears or scissors to cut the fruit off the trees particularly citrus.
• Gloves – while not essential if you are a softie like me you will appreciate some gloves if you plan on picking a lot of fruit.
• Bring cash – not all farms accept cards so a stash of cash is the best bet.
• Follow the farms on their social media – You will find updates about the coming harvest season. You will find a Facebook page or Instagram account for most of the farms.

It’s worth knowing that while you can sometimes get good value for money fruit picking it may not always be cheaper – but you do get the freshest fruit that has not been sitting in supermarket chillers for months on end. Plus you get to spend some time with family and friends having fun outdoors. 

Season : February to May

Apples are in abundance from February to May, although some years the season does run a little early. If you want to go apple picking in Sydney one of the most popular places is in Bilpin, which is about a 90 minute drive from the CBD.   

Where to go apple picking near Sydney

Drive north west from the city centre for about one and a half hours and you will find Biplin,on the Bells Line of Road. Bilpin is considered the apple capital of NSW

• Pine Crest Orchard –  2549 Bells Line of Road, Bilpin – great for your first experience with low entry fees and no need to book so you can try it out without spending too much.
• Bilpin Springs Orchard – 2550 Bells Line of Road, Bilpin – a small family owned orchard only open in season. Lovely for a low key experience.
• Bilpin Fruit Bowl – 2093 Bells Line of Road, Bilpin – Bilpin Fruit Bowl is a good choice if not everyone in your group wants to pick as they can hangout in the cafe.

If you head to Bilpin consider driving on a little further and enjoying the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens at Mount Tomah.

If you live in the south of the city head towards Wollongong and make a stop in Darkes Forest.

• Darkes Glenbernie Orchard -259 Darkes Forest Rd, Darkes Forest (not to be confused with Glenberinie Family Farms who harvest sunflowers. Darkes have plenty of apples and also make cider and mead and sell their own honey.

Season:   May to August

If you want to stock up on citrus to chase away the winter blues (and flu’s) Sydney’s got a few great options. From mandarins, oranges, to lemons, limes and cumquats these zesty fruits will certainly add some sparkle to your fruit picking adventure. 

Citrus fruits are predominantly a winter harvest, with the peak season ranging from June to August, although you can find some fruit in May. This makes it an excellent activity for those cooler months when other fruits are off-season. 

You will find more than mandarins and lemons though with things like Kaffir and Tahitian limes, and even cumquats. Keep your eye out for native Australian finger limes if you visit Canoelands orchard, they go great with gin!

Where to go  to pick citrus fruit

You can enjoy citrus picking at various farms around Sydney. The Hawkesbury is the closest region to Sydney. One of the most popular is ‘Watkins Family Farm’, renowned for its lush orchards of mandarins.

Orange and mandarin picking in Sydney is close to Sydney is found in the Hawkesbury Region.  

• Watkins Family Farm – 1006 Singleton Rd, Laughtondale – is usually open from June to October. This 8th generation family farm is best known for their mandarin crops but you can also find Tahitian limes, lemons, grapefruit, finger limes, and oranges.
• Anderson Farm – Sackville Ferry Rd, Sackville North – On the banks of the Hawkesbury River you can pick Imperial and Hickson mandarins, Seville and navel oranges and good old bush lemons.
• Fords Farm – 1275 Singleton Road, Laughtondale via Wiseman’s Ferry- Fords Farm specialise in mandarins and cumquats. They have a great value entry fee per car (currently $10).

If you want to explore the region perhaps spend the night in Penrith .

Season :  December to Februrary 

If you’re a fan of stone fruits such as peaches, nectarines, and plums, you’ll find no shortage of options near Sydney. In Sydney the season typically spans the summer from December to February. Plums often continue into autumn with some varieties available in March. 

This time of year sees a variety of stone fruits at their peak, ripening under the Australian summer sun, ready for you to enjoy. 

Best Places to pick peaches, plums and nectarines near Sydney

Let’s have a look at some of the best places for picking peaches, plums and nectarines near Sydney.

If you live in the south of the city your best options are: 

• Cedar Creek – 269 Mulhollands Rd, Thirlmere – Cedar Creek is the spot to go Persimmon picking. They also offer nectarines. You are transported to the trees on a people mover which adds to the fun.
• Glenbernie Orchard – 259 Darkes Forest Rd, Darkes Forest 

Both of these options make a great day out when combined with a trip along the Grand Pacific Drive on your way back to Sydney.

Remember, harvest times can vary slightly each year due to weather patterns. Always check with individual farms before your visit to confirm that the fruit is ready for picking.

From Sydney’s north or western suburbs it’s probably better to head to Bilpin 

• Pine Crest Orchard – 2549 Bells Line of Rd, Bilpin 
• Bilpin Fruit Bowl – 2093 Bells Line of Road, Bilpin
• Canoelands – 27 Canoelands Rd, Canoelands (20 minutes north of Dural) – While best known for the stone fruits Canoelands has been operating since 1923 and grows a huge variety of fruits. They are open year round and also offer high teas, tractor rides and have a cafe. It is an accessible property but call first to get advice before you visit.

Season : November to March

Berry lovers will find plenty of ripe berries on offer in summer with crops at the their best from Decemeber to February. Raspberries start a finish a little earlier than blueberries and strawberries can be found grown under cover year round. 

You should find they have blueberries and strawberries at Canoelands Orchard , while Glenbernie Orchard also has some berries for picking most years.

Season :  available throughout the year

Strawberry picking is a good year round option. Usually, the best season for strawberry picking in Sydney is from October to January, but some farms offer year-round picking thanks to ever-bearing varieties. Be sure to check with the specific farm for their picking schedule.

Best places to pick strawberries near Sydney 

• Berrylicious Strawberries – 200 West Parade, Thirlmere – These guys are usually open most of the year, usually closing between July and October. The berries are grown in a hot house and are pestiside free. Check their Facebook page for opening dates .
• TNT Produce – 153 Kurts Road, Bilpin – this is a fun place to visit with farm animals to meet when you finish picking. Dogs are welcome on leash.
• Blueberry Hills – 464 Comleroy Rd, Kurrajong – This farm offers blueberry picking in season and also has a lovely farmstay if you decide a getaway is in order. Their blueberry harvest dates will be available on their Facebook page soon.

Tips for picking strawberries

Strawberry picking near Sydney is a popular option for families so we suggest you arrive early in the day to get the best pick of the fruit. Remember to only pick what you can eat and avoid the pale coloured strawberries as they are usually not very sweet. 

Season: Late October -January

The cherry picking season is mid to late-October and peaks at Christmas but continues until the end of January and even into February some years. This year is not looking so good for some growers with Roth Family Orchid announcing their crop will be a small one this year with the first open weekend likely being 16-17 December.

Did you know there are at least 9 varieties of Cherries grown in NSW?

You will need to be prepared to jump in the car and drive at least 2.5-3 hours west to find cherries as there are no cherry orchards near the city. 

Most of the NSW cherry orchids are in the Central West between Bathurst, Orange, and Young but you will also find cherries closer to Sydney in Parkesbourne, west of Goulburn, Mudgee or Raglan.

• Roth Family Orchard – 108 Eurunderee Lane, Mudgee
• George and Sue’s Cherry Farm – 7 Melrose Drive, Ragla

If you have time to make a weekend of it head to Young, NSW, the Cherry capital for the Annual Cherry Festival usually held the first weekend in December. 

If you are making a special trip just to pick cherries contact the orchard in advance and check if you need a booking or if weather has impacted the crop this year. 

It’s worth noting that many farms have a minimum weight to pick per person so if there is a group of you, you will end up with LOTS of cherries to work your way through. 

Season : March- May

Are nuts a fruit? They sure are!  You can pick chestnuts and walnuts in March, April and May. Other nuts like almonds and pecans are also available. Nutwood Farm is the only one I have personally visited so far but I highly recommend you make a drive to Mount Irvine , it’s such a beautiful spot. If you time it right, you can see the autumn colours the town is famous for while you pick your chestnuts and walnuts.

Where to pick nuts near Sydney

• Kookootonga Nut Farm – 247 Mt. Irvine Road, Mt. Irvine  – This chestnut and walnut farm is only open between March and April. Owned by the same family for over 100 years there are picnic grounds but no cafe and no shops nearby so bring supplies. (dogs welcome)
• Nutwood Farm – 22 Danes Way Mt. Irvine – Head to Nutwood for more chestnuts and walnuts. Their Facebook page will announce 2024 harvest dates.
• Pine Crest Orchard – 2549 Bells Line of Rd, Bilpin – Pine Crest also offer walnuts and chestnuts in March and April, open weekends and public holidays.
• Bilpin fruit bowl – offers green almonds in late September.

How much does fruit picking in sydney usually cost?

Fruit picking prices in Sydney vary depending on the location and the type of fruit being picked. On average, most orchards charge between $10 to $20 per adult for the entry fee and picking rights.

You then usually pay by the kilogram of fruit picked. It’s important to check the pricing structure of each farm before visiting to avoid any surprises.

Bring cash or a credit card to pay for the fruit. Many of these family owned farms will have a cash-only policy, so it’s important to bring enough money to pay for the fruit you pick. Some farms may also accept credit cards, but it’s always best to check beforehand.

Is fruit picking in Sydney only available on the weekend?

While it is certainly easier to find spots to go fruit picking on weekends, several orchards are open during the week including Canoelands orchard and Bilpin

Are children welcome at all fruit picking farms?

Yes, children are typically welcome at fruit picking farms. However, it’s always a good idea to check the farm website before planning you visit.

While you are there check out any rules the farm may have put in place. Fruit picking can be a fantastic educational experience for kids, teaching them where their food comes from, while letting them indulge straight from the source. However most farms have rules in place to keep everyone safe. They make great conversation for the drive to the orchard 😉 

Also encourage them to be gentle so they don’t damage the fruit and you end up needing to make jam instead of going home with buckets of fruit to munch! 

If you are happy to drive a little further, you will find fantastic fruit picking opportunities in the Central West of NSW, in towns including Bathurst, Orange, Mudgee, and Young in Hilltops Region of NSW.

Soaring Peaks. Classical Cities

Listen for the music of the great classical composers. Seek out grand capitals and wide boulevards. Austria travel takes you to fairytale landscapes and glorious castles. You are in Austria, a country that brings together a distinct culture with a diverse landscape.

Destination Must-See's

Europe’s mighty mountain range. Many of the Austrian people’s favorite activities have developed because of these mountains that cross the country including skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and hiking. The plentiful lakes, glaciers and rare flowers that lie on and around the mountains make for amazing vistas and one reason why tourism flourishes.

Lying in the midst of two mountain chains, the view from the city is impeccable. This lively and colorful city has a little something for everyone, from historic art and architecture to high-end and boutique shopping opportunities. Innsbruck has been host of the Olympic winter games twice, in 1964 and 1976, making it a major winter sports center with plenty of year round outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy.

Austria’s great capital is famous for its regal history and rich culture. The city is alive with activity, and there is so much to do! There is always an opera or classical music concert to attend, an art exhibition to browse, and another street to wander. No matter what you prefer, you’ll have to find the time to join the locals at one of its amazing coffee shops to sip their acclaimed coffee and sample the delightful local wines.

Medieval Castles:

The landscape is dotted with castles perched in the hills, allowing them to be seen from miles away. These white or light-colored stone castles look like something out of a fairytale. You are sure to be awed by these majestic structures with speared towers and tall-notched walls built in forests on top of the highest hills. As you travel through Austria, you find an abundance of castles to admire.

Destination Must-Do's

Apple strudel is a popular pastry in Austria. This sweet, layered pastry filled with apple goodness is sure to delight your taste buds. However, strudel can be more than a sweet treat, it can also be savory. It originated as an easy yet satisfying meal made by the poor. The oldest known strudel recipe was written in 1696 and was a milk-cream strudel. The Viennese have taken strudel and made it famous.

Melk Abbey:

Just outside of Vienna, on the banks of the Danube River, lies a yellow-hued architectural beauty that has been a religious and political center in the region since Roman times. The building has an impressive two-story library with a colorful frescoed ceiling and boasts many amazing views of the river. Even today, the abbey is a center of learning and culture and is still one of the most incredible sights along the Danube.

Habsburg Monarchy:

The Habsburg Empire began with Count Rudolf of Habsburg who moved the family’s rule from their ancestral Switzerland to what is now Austria in 1282. The Habsburg kings and queens made Austria the center of a multi-nation empire that spread through central Europe. They ruled Austria for centuries, all the way up to 1918. Their immense power and wealth earned them the title of one of Europe’s greatest royal families.

Classical Music Greats:

Austria is a country where classical music lovers flock from all over the world. They come to attend its music festivals and walk in the footsteps of the world’s greatest composers including Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Liszt, J. Strauss, Mahler, and Bruckner. You can hear their masterpieces resonating in the music halls daily and visit the places they worked and lived all throughout this amazing country.

Expert Advice

If you are venturing out on your own, I suggest public transportation. Trains in Austria are timely and quite reliable, as is the bus system.

Our local guides love their countries. Be sure to take advantage of your time with them and ask a lot of questions about local life.

I love Vienna. This is a city of classical music and grand palaces. Enjoy the cafés and parks. Savour the chance to slow down a bit and relax at a café or stroll through one of its famous parks like the Stadtpark.
