Fruit picking in the Snowy Mountains & Monaro

In September, strawberries and flowers are picking in Snowy Mountains & Monaro. We list 2 farms across this region — browse the listings below and call ahead to confirm what's ripe before you travel.

The high country south of Canberra has a short but genuine cherry season and at least one farmstay that opens its vegetable patch to guests. At Snowy Mountain Estate near Numeralla, cherries ripen late November through early January and are priced at $20/kg, picked into 2kg boxes. Further south at Berridale, Highland Lodge Farmstay lets guests pick vegetables, herbs, strawberries and lavender when in season as part of a stay, rather than as a stand-alone picking visit. Both properties sit in cool, elevated country, so seasons here tend to run later than the coast — call ahead to confirm what's actually ripe before the drive.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick cherries in the Snowy Mountains?

Snowy Mountain Estate, near Numeralla south of Cooma, grows pick-your-own cherries priced at $20/kg, packed into 2kg boxes. The cool-climate high country means the season runs later than warmer NSW cherry districts.

When is cherry season in the Monaro region?

Late November through early January, based on Snowy Mountain Estate's own listing — a similar window to other cool-climate NSW cherry areas, though exact timing shifts with the weather each year.

Can you pick your own vegetables near the Snowy Mountains?

Highland Lodge Farmstay at Berridale grows vegetables, herbs, strawberries and lavender that guests can pick when in season, as part of a farmstay visit rather than a casual drop-in. Contact the farm directly for current availability.
