Fruit picking in Riverina & South Coast

Canberra is the nearest capital for most of this stretched-out region, roughly ninety minutes to Young and the Wombat orchards, and about two hours to the Milton-Ulladulla stretch of the far South Coast. The Riverina end is cherry country: Lynton Orchards, Ballinaclash Orchard & Cellar Door and several Wombat orchards pick cherries through a short window, while Mouat's Farm at Batlow adds apples later in the season and Bidgee Strawberries and Cream in Wagga Wagga runs a long strawberry season. Down on the South Coast, Clyde River Berry Farm near Mogood grows blueberries, blackberries and strawberries, and Woodstock Flower Farm near Milton-Ulladulla picks dahlias and other cut flowers over summer. Cherries typically run November to January, apples February to May, and strawberries stretch November to May — but confirm before travelling, since this is a wide area and conditions differ from Young to the coast.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick cherries near Riverina & South Coast?

The Young and Wombat district is the cherry heartland here, with orchards including Lynton Orchards, Ballinaclash Orchard & Cellar Door, Allambie Orchard, Main Range Orchard and Gleann Mohr Farm. Cherries generally run November to January, with most orchards busiest in December — call ahead as picking days can sell out on weekends.

Where can I pick strawberries near Riverina & South Coast?

Bidgee Strawberries and Cream in Wagga Wagga runs a long strawberry season from November through to May, and Clyde River Berry Farm near Mogood on the South Coast also grows strawberries alongside blueberries and blackberries, typically in December and January. Check ahead, as picking availability depends on that week's fruit.

When is the best time to visit for apple picking?

Mouat's Farm at Batlow, one of NSW's classic apple towns, picks from February through to May, after the cherry season wraps up. This makes late summer and autumn a good time to combine an apple trip with cooler Riverina weather, though it's worth calling to check which varieties are ready.

How much does cherry picking cost in this region?

Prices vary by orchard: Ballinaclash Orchard & Cellar Door charges $5 entry per person plus a booking fee, Allambie Orchard has no entry fee but charges $10 per kilogram picked, and Bidgee Strawberries and Cream charges $5 entry with $25 per kilogram for strawberries. Always confirm current pricing when you book or call.
