Fruit picking in South West WA

WA's South West stretches from Donnybrook down through Nannup, Margaret River and Manjimup, roughly two to three hours south of Perth, and it swaps Swan Valley's strawberries for apples, chestnuts and berries suited to its cooler, wetter climate. Sheehan's Farm at Donnybrook picks Pink Lady apples through autumn in the region's historic apple country, while Chestnut Brae near Nannup and Fontanini Fruit and Nut Farm at Manjimup open their chestnut groves from late March into May. Lorien Blueberries at Margaret River runs a summer blueberry season from December to February, and Truffle Hill at Manjimup flips the calendar entirely with winter truffle hunts from June to August. A run of pop-up sunflower fields, including Harvey Farm Barn and Joyful Little Art Space, add a short January flowering window. It's a spread-out region best combined with a broader South West trip, and opening days shift often, so call ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick apples near the South West?

Sheehan's Farm at Donnybrook picks Pink Lady apples through autumn, with Old Goldfields Orchard and Spring Valley Orchard, also around Donnybrook, growing apples and plums across a similar window. Donnybrook is WA's historic apple district, so autumn is the busiest picking stretch here.

Where can I pick blueberries near the South West?

Lorien Blueberries at Forest Grove, near Margaret River, runs a pick-your-own blueberry season from around mid-December through to late February. It's a cash or bank-transfer operation priced per kilogram, so bring a container and check current opening days before you drive down.

When is the best time to visit the South West for picking?

It depends what you're after: blueberries at Lorien peak in summer, apples and chestnuts run through autumn (roughly March to May) at places like Sheehan's Farm and Chestnut Brae, sunflowers pop up for a few weeks in January, and Truffle Hill flips the calendar with winter truffle hunts June to August.

How much does pick-your-own cost in the South West?

Pricing varies widely by crop. Chestnut Brae charges around $15 per person including the first kilogram picked, Lorien Blueberries is about $25/kg, and Joyful Little Art Space's sunflower field is around $10 per person. Some orchards charge only for fruit picked with free entry. Always confirm before visiting.

Do South West farms need bookings?

It varies by farm and season. Chestnut Brae and similar seasonal operations often benefit from a call ahead, especially on weekends, while smaller orchards like Sheehan's Farm tend to be more casual walk-in affairs. Given the spread-out region, ringing ahead avoids a long drive for nothing.
