Greater Brisbane's pick-your-own farms sit within about 30 to 90 minutes of the CBD, from Chambers Flat and Caboolture close to the city out to Rosevale and Kalbar in the Scenic Rim. Unlike southern Australia, South East Queensland grows strawberries as a winter crop: Chambers Flat Strawberry Farm and Oasis Berries typically pick from June through to October or November, the opposite of the spring-summer season further south. Forest Dragon Fruit Farm at Forestdale offers something different, with dragon fruit picking from November to July and a peak around February to May. Come spring, Sunflowers On Kents at Kalbar cuts stems through the Scenic Rim's sunflower bloom, and Ellia's Garden at Rosevale opens its vegetable and herb patch on the first Sunday of each month. Call ahead before you drive out, since bloom and picking windows shift with the season.

Chambers Flat Strawberry Farm is open for pick-your-own from about June to November, with adult entry around $15 including a 500g punnet. Oasis Berries at Caboolture opens for a shorter window each September and October, timed to its annual Strawberry Festival. Both are within about an hour of the Brisbane CBD; call ahead to confirm picking is on before you drive out.
Forest Dragon Fruit Farm at Forestdale, about 40 minutes south of Brisbane, offers self-picked dragon fruit from November through to July, with the best supply typically February to May. A bucket of self-picked fruit costs around $10. It's one of the few dedicated dragon fruit picking farms in South East Queensland, so booking ahead on a warm afternoon is worth it.
Sunflowers On Kents at Kalbar, out in the Scenic Rim about 90 minutes from Brisbane, opens for its cut-your-own sunflower season during the annual Kalbar Sunflower Festival, with exact bloom dates announced on Facebook and Instagram each year. Booking ahead is recommended, as the paddock only blooms for a few weeks. Check its socials before making the drive.
Winter and early spring, roughly June to October, is peak season here, when Chambers Flat and Oasis Berries both have strawberries ready and dragon fruit at Forestdale is still fruiting. It's the reverse of picking seasons further south, since South East Queensland grows strawberries through winter rather than summer. Always call ahead, as festival-linked openings like Oasis Berries can be brief.
Prices vary by farm and crop. Chambers Flat charges about $15 for adults and $7.50 for children, each including a punnet, with extra fruit around $24/kg. Forest Dragon Fruit Farm charges roughly $10 a bucket, and Ellia's Garden at Rosevale sells its produce by weight or item on top of a ticketed farm day pass.
