Knoblock's Lychee Farm
Pick your own fresh produce in Boambee, NSW
Closed for season

Farm details can change. Check before travelling.
Coffs Coast
Genuine, long-running family lychee orchard (est. late 1970s) run by Ted and Liz Knoblock (and son Steve) at 169 South Boambee Road, Boambee -- described in regional press (Coffs Coast Advocate, The Land) and a real-estate listing as Australia's southernmost commercial lychee orchard and a known local tourist attraction. Pick-your-own is genuine and hands-on: visitors pick with secateurs under supervision, no ladders, minimum group size of 6 per a 2016 source. No official farm website or public phone number was found in any source; a July 2026 tourism guide still lists it as an active pick-your-own destination for the current season, so operations appear ongoing, but exact current pricing, hours and contact details could not be independently confirmed beyond third-party write-ups. The property at this address was briefly real-estate-listed and then withdrawn (status/date of withdrawal not given), which doesn't confirm closure but is worth flagging. Not a duplicate of any existing Coffs Coast region listing -- distinct crop (lychees) and location from Ricardoes, Bucca Valley Blueberries, Boss Berries and Blooms and Coos.
Getting there
169 South Boambee Road, Boambee NSW 2450. From Coffs Harbour, this farm is on the NSW mid-north coast, around 5 hours north of Sydney.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book to visit Knoblock's Lychee Farm?
On the booking question, Knoblock's Lychee Farm is listed this way: booking recommended. Farms often tighten booking rules once a crop peaks, so confirm by checking the farm's website or social pages rather than relying on this alone.
How much does picking cost at Knoblock's Lychee Farm?
On price, the details we hold for Knoblock's Lychee Farm read: Sources disagree on pricing model: a 2016 farm-visit article (healthycountrylife.com) states $15 entry per adult, $8 for children 6+, free under 6, plus picked fruit charged at market rate on top; a July 2026 tourism guide (schoolholidaysaustralia.com.au) instead cites picked fruit at roughly $15/kg with no separate entry fee mentioned. Confirm current pricing by phone before visiting. Rates move as a crop comes in and out, and published prices lag — check the current figure before you go.
What can you pick at Knoblock's Lychee Farm, and when?
Lychees is what Knoblock's Lychee Farm is listed for, with a usual window of Late December to February, weather-dependent, mornings only. That window is what a normal year looks like here; the actual dates depend on how the season has run, so check first.
