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. Sorell Fruit Farm, a short drive further, adds cherries and an on-site restaurant if you want to make a day of it.
