12 farms offer peach picking across New South Wales, from Bilpin & the Hawkesbury and Orange & Central West. The typical season runs November to February — check each farm's current status and call ahead before you travel.
Peach picking in NSW spans two very different parts of the state. The Bilpin district (Blue Mountains foothills) offers peaches as part of a mixed stone-fruit and apple orchard day: Pine Crest Orchard, Bilpin Fruit Bowl, Bilpin Springs Orchard and TNT Produce all list peaches alongside nectarines, plums and cherries, with the stone-fruit season typically running November to February. The Central West around Orange adds Borrodell Estate Orchard, Hillside Harvest and Roth Family Orchard — orchards that often have a broader range and longer picking season than the Bilpin cluster. The Riverina and South Coast brings Drive In Orchards and Gleann Mohr Farm for those in the state's south and west.
Peach season in NSW generally runs from November through to late February, with peak picking typically in December and January — the same window as cherries and nectarines. At multi-variety orchards you'll often find several stone-fruit crops all available on the same visit. Ring ahead before driving to confirm which fruit is ripe on the specific day you're planning, since ripeness moves quickly in a warm season.

The main peach-picking areas in NSW are the Bilpin district (Pine Crest Orchard, Bilpin Fruit Bowl, Bilpin Springs, TNT Produce), the Central West around Orange (Borrodell Estate, Hillside Harvest, Roth Family Orchard) and the Riverina (Drive In Orchards, Gleann Mohr Farm). Most orchards list peaches alongside nectarines and plums as part of a stone-fruit picking season.
Peaches in NSW typically ripen from November and run through January to February, with peak picking in December and January. Stone fruit seasons are shorter and more weather-sensitive than apple harvest — a warm spring can push opening forward by 2–3 weeks. Always call the orchard to confirm what's ripe before visiting.
Pricing varies. Pine Crest Orchard charges no entry fee and you pay per kilo. Bilpin Springs Orchard has a minimum $5 per adult fee. Cedar Creek Orchard charges from $4.50/kg. TNT Produce requires an online entry booking plus on-site payment for picked fruit. Most Central West orchards don't publish pricing — call for current season rates.
At most Bilpin and Central West orchards, peach season overlaps with nectarines, plums and sometimes late-season cherries. Pine Crest, Bilpin Fruit Bowl, Borrodell Estate and Hillside Harvest all carry multiple stone-fruit varieties simultaneously, so a visit through December–January often means you can fill your basket with several different fruits in one stop.
