12 farms offer strawberry picking across Tasmania, from Hobart & the Huon Valley and Tamar Valley & Launceston. The typical season runs October to May — check each farm's current status and call ahead before you travel.
Tasmania is one of the best places in Australia to pick strawberries: the state's cool climate produces a longer, sweeter season than most mainland regions, and several farms here have been running u-pick operations for decades. The confirmed strawberry farms split between two main areas — the Hobart & Huon Valley (including Bruny Island, Coal River and Westerway) and the Tamar Valley near Launceston (Hillwood, Longford). Sorell Fruit Farm, about 25 minutes east of Hobart, is the state's most visitor-ready option, with a restaurant and gift shop alongside the picking rows. Littlewood Berry Farm near Huonville charges $8 per person entry with $6 credited toward purchases — a good value structure for a full picking session. Hillwood Berries in the Tamar Valley is a popular drive for Launceston visitors, with the river valley views adding to the day out.
Strawberry season in Tasmania typically runs from late November through to February, two to four weeks later than Sydney and Melbourne farms at peak times. If mainland farms near you are already closed, Tasmania may still be in full swing.
