North-West Tasmania has 3 farms where you can pick your own Strawberries, Blueberries and Raspberries across the season. Picking windows shift with the weather — check each farm's status below and call ahead before you drive out.
North-West Tasmania's picking farms are spread along the coast and hinterland around Devonport, from Turners Beach on the shoreline to Barrington inland. Turners Beach Berry Patch, only about 15 minutes from Devonport, is the closest option for a family visit, growing strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and tayberries across a long spring-to-autumn season. Sheffield Berry Gardens, further inland at Sheffield, grows a wider mix — raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, tayberries, boysenberries, gooseberries, blueberries and cherries — from late November to the end of April. This is a berry-focused region rather than an orchard one, so the season rhythm follows the berries: picking generally starts in October and tapers off by autumn, with the exact weeks shifting from year to year depending on the weather, so it's worth calling ahead.

Turners Beach Berry Patch, about 15 minutes from Devonport, is the region's closest pick-your-own strawberry farm, open across a long October-to-May season alongside raspberries, blackberries and tayberries. It's a good option for a short family outing rather than a full day trip.
Sheffield Berry Gardens at Sheffield grows a wide mix — raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, tayberries, boysenberries, gooseberries, blueberries and cherries — from late November to the end of April. It's further inland than Turners Beach, so it suits a longer drive out from Devonport.
This is a berry-growing region, so picking generally runs from October through to March or May depending on the crop and farm. Sheffield Berry Gardens runs from late November to the end of April, while Turners Beach Berry Patch's mix stretches from October into autumn. Weather shifts the exact dates each year, so call ahead.
Sheffield Berry Gardens charges about $5 a person to pick and eat as much as you like in the garden, plus around $15 a kilogram for berries you take home. Turners Beach Berry Patch doesn't publish fixed pricing online, where the usual pick-your-own convention applies: pay by weight for what you pick at the farm gate. Confirm the current rate when you call ahead or arrive.
Turners Beach Berry Patch doesn't require a booking, making it an easy drop-in option near Devonport. Sheffield Berry Gardens is a longer drive inland, so it's worth calling before you set out to confirm what's ripe.
