Fruit picking in Northern Rivers

Brisbane is the closest capital to this far-north corner of NSW, around two hours' drive from the Byron Bay hinterland, while Sydney is a very long haul south. Picking here is a small but growing scene rather than a dense orchard district, built around subtropical fruit rather than the apples and cherries you'll find further south. Blueberry Fields at Brooklet, just inland from Byron Bay, is the standout: a family-run blueberry farm selling at farm gate and markets from July through to January, with scheduled pick-your-own days usually opening in September and October when the fruit is heaviest. Because picking days are set around the crop rather than run daily, checking ahead — by phone or on Facebook — before you drive out is essential, especially if you're bringing kids who'll want a guaranteed picking session rather than a wasted trip.
