Brisbane is the nearer capital to the Coffs Coast, roughly four and a half hours' drive north, though plenty of visitors also come up from Sydney, about five and a half hours south. This subtropical stretch of the NSW mid-north coast is known for berries and, unusually, year-round picking under cover: Ricardoes Tomatoes and Strawberries at Blackmans Point grows strawberries and tomatoes hydroponically in glasshouses, so there's fruit to pick most of the year. Further inland, Bucca Valley Blueberries near Nana Glen and Boss Berries at Bostobrick/Dorrigo pick blueberries from around December through February, while Blooms and Coos at Lorne offers seasonal flower picking. Coffs Coast blueberries generally run winter into spring further along this coast too, so it's a region where something is usually in season — but always call or check Facebook for the day's picking status before you go.

Ricardoes Tomatoes and Strawberries at Blackmans Point grows strawberries hydroponically under cover, which means picking is available close to year-round rather than a short outdoor window. Entry is free and you pay per kilogram only for what you pick, making it an easy, low-commitment stop for families.
Bucca Valley Blueberries near Nana Glen and Boss Berries at Bostobrick/Dorrigo both run pick-your-own blueberries, generally from around mid-December through February depending on supply. Both are honesty-system or seasonal operations, so confirm current picking status on Facebook before making the drive inland.
Strawberries and tomatoes at Ricardoes are available most of the year under cover, while the inland blueberry farms are best from mid-December to February. Flower picking at Blooms and Coos runs to its own booking calendar, so check each farm's current season before you plan a trip.
Ricardoes charges free entry with per-kilogram pricing for strawberries you pick. Bucca Valley Blueberries charges $10 per kilogram on an honesty-system basis at a farm shed, so bring cash. Prices can shift with the season, so it's worth confirming the day's rate when you call ahead.
