Strawberry picking near Hobart
In October, strawberry picking is in season near Hobart. We list 4 farms within about 90 minutes of the city — compare seasons, prices and booking below, then call ahead to confirm what's ripe.
Strawberry picking near Hobart is mostly a Richmond and Sorell affair, with a couple of the farms just across the Derwent within about 90 minutes if you count Bruny Island's ferry crossing. Tasmania's cooler climate stretches the season out to eight months, typically October through to May, with December to February the peak. Entry is usually a small per-person fee, sometimes credited back against what you buy, rather than a straight pay-by-weight arrangement. Littlewood Berry Farm at Richmond is an easy one for families: entry is eight dollars a head for anyone aged two and up, with six dollars of that credited toward whatever you pick, and the season there runs from early November right through to the end of April. Old Beach Berries, about twenty minutes from the city, opens for blueberries in January and February at $23 a kilo if you bring your own container.

How far is strawberry picking from Hobart?
Richmond and Sorell are both around 25 to 30 minutes from central Hobart, an easy morning drive. Bruny Island is the outlier: allow closer to 90 minutes to two hours once you add the ferry crossing and the drive down the island to Adventure Bay.

How much does strawberry picking cost near Hobart?
Littlewood Berry Farm charges eight dollars entry per person aged two and over, with six dollars of that credited toward strawberries you buy, so it works out close to free if you pick a reasonable amount. Coal River Farm at Cambridge does not publish its picking rates online, so call ahead if price matters to your plans.
Do you need to book strawberry picking near Hobart?
No booking is generally needed at either Richmond or Sorell; both operate as walk-up visits through the season. It’s still worth a quick call ahead to confirm the patch is open that day.
