Pick Your Own Farms

What fruit is in season in July?

July is deep winter in the southern states, and pick-your-own goes quiet from Victoria and Tasmania down to South Australia and the ACT. The action this month is in the warmer states. Queensland is the standout, with strawberries at their peak from the Scenic Rim to Bundaberg and blueberries just starting in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. NSW's long Hawkesbury strawberry season runs right through July, alongside citrus on the Central Coast and in the Hawkesbury. Western Australia is closing out its apple and kiwifruit season in the Perth Hills while citrus continues. Up in the Northern Territory, the Top End's dry season keeps melons, pumpkins, tomatoes, citrus and passionfruit ticking along around Darwin and Katherine. It's a good month to head north if you want to pick.

New South Wales

Strawberries are still going in the Hawkesbury and Bilpin as their long season runs through July, blueberries continue on the Coffs Coast, and citrus is in full swing on the Central Coast and in the Hawkesbury, with lavender also still open on the Central Coast.

Victoria

Citrus is about the only pick-your-own crop typically listed for July, with mandarins and oranges ripe in the Yarra Valley; most other Victorian farms are closed for the winter.

Queensland

Strawberries are at their peak from the Scenic Rim and Brisbane down to Bundaberg, blueberries are just starting in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, citrus continues in the Granite Belt around Stanthorpe and in Bundaberg, and passionfruit picking runs on.

South Australia

July is a quiet month for South Australian pick-your-own, with no crops typically listed as in season; most farms stay closed until spring flowers and berries return.

Western Australia

Perth Hills orchards close out their apple and kiwifruit season for the year in July, while citrus keeps going in the Chittering Valley and Perth Hills.

Tasmania

Tasmania has no pick-your-own crops typically open in July; the island's berry and orchard season doesn't get going again until spring.

Australian Capital Territory

Canberra-region picking is closed for winter in July, with no crops typically listed as in season around Pialligo or the Young/Yass day-trip belt.

Frequently asked questions

What fruit is in season in July in Australia?

July is a Queensland and NSW story: strawberries are at their peak from Brisbane and the Scenic Rim through to Bundaberg, and the Hawkesbury's long strawberry season is still running. Citrus is widely available across NSW, Victoria and WA, blueberries are starting in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and the NT's dry-season crops (melons, pumpkins, tomatoes) continue. Southern states are largely quiet.

Can you pick strawberries in July?

Yes, in the warmer states. Queensland's Scenic Rim, Brisbane and Bundaberg farms are typically at peak strawberry season in July, and the Hawkesbury in NSW keeps its long season running through the month too. Southern states like Victoria, SA and Tasmania don't list strawberries in July, so check before planning a trip further south.

Is July a good month for citrus picking?

Yes, July sits within the main citrus window in several states. Oranges and mandarins are typically ripe on the NSW Central Coast and Hawkesbury, in Victoria's Yarra Valley, in Queensland's Granite Belt and Bundaberg, and in WA's Chittering Valley and Perth Hills. It's one of the more reliable crops to find picking open for this month.

What's in season in the Northern Territory in July?

The Top End's dry season keeps things ticking over in July, with melons, pumpkins and tomatoes typically ripe statewide around Darwin and Katherine, alongside citrus and passionfruit, both of which run for much of the year. It's a good month to visit if you're travelling through the Top End and want to combine picking with the dry-season weather.
