Real, currently operating cheese/chocolate/restaurant venue at 634 Richmond Rd, Cambridge TAS, open 7 days 9am-5pm (phone and address confirmed directly on the official site). Genuine pick-your-own is corroborated by two independent third-party sources fetched directly: the Coal River Valley regional tourism site, which states visitors 'can wander the orchards, pick their own berries, feed the pigs, or collect eggs,' and Hobart Localista's directory listing, which describes it as a 'pick-your-own mixed berry farm and orchard.' Search-indexed content from a local Coal Valley community farm-gate guide additionally names Coal River Farm specifically for pick-your-own stone fruit in summer. Caveat: the farm's own current website markets itself almost entirely around cheese, chocolate and the restaurant and does not mention picking, orchards or animals on any page checked (home, visit, our-story, restaurant, getting-here), so picking appears to be a secondary/seasonal drawcard rather than the headline offering, and exact pickable varieties/season windows are not precisely stated anywhere verified. A per-kilo self-pick price (reportedly ~$15/kg berries, ~$5/kg stone fruit) surfaced in aggregated search results but could not be confirmed against any primary page, so no price is recorded. Not a duplicate of any farm already in the hobart-huon list -- distinct name, suburb and business model (cheese/chocolate hub with incidental picking vs. dedicated berry/cherry farms).
