Fruit picking in the Blue Mountains
In September, blueberries are picking in Blue Mountains. We list 2 farms across this region — browse the listings below and call ahead to confirm what's ripe before you travel.
The Blue Mountains sit about an hour and a half northwest of the Sydney CBD, climbing into cooler, higher country than the orchards down at Bilpin. It's a small but growing set of picking farms up here, with the cool climate suiting nuts rather than the stone fruit and berries you find lower down. Tomah Farm Nuts at Mount Tomah runs pick-your-own walnuts for a short window each autumn, typically March to April, timed to when the shells split and drop. Booking ahead is required, since picking days are limited and weather-dependent at this altitude. If you're combining a trip, the neighbouring Bilpin and Hawkesbury district is only a short drive further down the mountain and has a much wider range of fruit picking on offer through summer and autumn.

Frequently asked questions
What can you pick in the Blue Mountains?
Pick-your-own in the Blue Mountains is limited to walnuts at Tomah Farm Nuts, Mount Tomah, which suits the cooler high-altitude climate. There isn't a wide range of fruit picking directly in the mountains yet; most stone fruit, apple and berry farms are down the range in the neighbouring Bilpin and Hawkesbury district.
When is walnut season in the Blue Mountains?
Tomah Farm Nuts typically opens for pick-your-own walnuts in March and April, though exact dates shift year to year depending on weather and when the shells split. Booking is required, so call or book ahead rather than turning up unannounced.
What is the best time to visit the Blue Mountains for picking?
Autumn, specifically March and April, is the only real picking window here, coinciding with the walnut harvest at Mount Tomah. Outside that window there's little pick-your-own on offer in the mountains proper, so plan your visit around the nut season if picking is the goal.
How much does it cost to pick walnuts here?
Pricing for Tomah Farm Nuts isn't published, so confirm the current per-kilogram rate when you book. Nearby Bilpin walnut and chestnut growers charge roughly $8-11/kg as a guide, but always check the exact price with the farm directly since it can change season to season.
