Blueberry picking near Sydney

Blueberry picking near Sydney is mostly a Hawkesbury and Central Coast affair, with a scatter of farms further out in the Southern Highlands and Hunter Valley. Seasons vary by grower: some Bilpin-area patches pick from spring into summer, Central Coast farms lean October to December, and a few southern growers stretch into February in a mild year. Nearly all the options sit within about 90 minutes of the city, making a berry run a comfortable half-day trip.

At Pine Crest Orchard in Bilpin there's no entry fee at all — you simply pay for what you pick, which is a handy benchmark for pricing across the district, alongside farms that charge a small entry fee on top of the fruit. Expect muddy rows after rain, and bring your own containers where you can. Because blueberries ripen fast and unevenly, call the farm on the morning you plan to visit rather than relying on last week's update.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick blueberries near Sydney?

The main clusters are around Bilpin and Kurrajong in the Hawkesbury, with more options on the Central Coast near Jilliby, in the Hunter Valley near Brunkerville, and in the Southern Highlands near Fitzroy Falls. Most are within about 90 minutes of the CBD. Coverage is patchier than for strawberries or apples, so check a farm's current status before setting out, particularly on hot weekends.

How far is blueberry picking from Sydney?

Bilpin and Kurrajong farms are roughly 90 minutes north-west of the city via the Bells Line of Road or Putty Road, while Central Coast growers are a similar drive north on the M1. The Southern Highlands option adds a little more time heading south-west. Weekend traffic on the Bells Line can be slow, so leave earlier than you think you need to.

When can you pick blueberries near Sydney?

Timing varies by district. Hawkesbury and Central Coast farms typically pick from spring into early summer, roughly October to December, while some patches run on into January or February depending on rainfall and heat. There's no single Sydney-wide season, so check the specific farm you're heading to and call the day before if you can.

How much does blueberry picking near Sydney cost?

Pricing varies from farm to farm. Pine Crest Orchard in Bilpin charges no entry fee at all — you only pay for the fruit you pick — while others add a small per-person entry fee of around $5 on top of picking costs. Expect blueberries to run somewhere around $10 to $15 a punnet equivalent, though this shifts through the season, so confirm current pricing when you call.
