Fruit picking in Albany & the Great Southern
Albany & Great Southern has 2 farms where you can pick your own Blueberries across the season. Picking windows shift with the weather — check each farm's status below and call ahead before you drive out.
WA's south coast, about 4–5 hours from Perth, runs a short summer berry season across two small operations, both of them blueberry growers. West of Albany at Lowlands, Blueberry Lakes opens for a brief January–February picking season, and at nearby Youngs Siding, Eden Gate Blueberry Farm runs a similar December–February window, Thursday to Monday, 10:30am–4pm, with a cafe on site. Both are genuinely seasonal — neither opens outside its short summer window — and there's no pick-your-own strawberry patch or orchard fruit listed in the Great Southern at present, so treat this as a berry region rather than an all-round picking one.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I pick strawberries in Albany?
We don't currently list a pick-your-own strawberry farm in Albany or the wider Great Southern — both of the region's picking farms are blueberry growers. The nearest strawberry patch we list is Smashastrawb at Smith Brook, near Manjimup in WA's South West, a few hours' drive north-west of Albany. It opens on weekends during the strawberry season, roughly 10am–1:30pm, when the fruit and conditions allow, so call ahead before making the trip.
Where can I pick blueberries near Albany?
Two farms offer u-pick blueberries: Blueberry Lakes at Lowlands, open a short January–February season, and Eden Gate Blueberry Farm at Youngs Siding, open roughly December to February, Thursday to Monday, 10:30am–4pm. Both are closed outside their summer season.
Is fruit picking near Albany open year-round?
No — both listed picking farms run short summer windows only: roughly December to February at Eden Gate Blueberry Farm, Youngs Siding, and a January–February season at Blueberry Lakes, Lowlands. There's nothing to pick in the Great Southern outside that summer stretch, so call ahead before visiting, as exact dates shift with the season.
