You don't have to drive too far to give the kids a real taste of life on the farm.
A vast range of fresh local produce is available to purchase from markets and farm gates around Perth, with some properties even allowing you to head out and pick your own fruit. Among the most popular ‘pick your own’ spots are Perth’s strawberry picking farms.
There’s nothing more satisfying than wandering through the rows of strawberry bushes, filling a big box full of hand-picked fruit as you go. It’s an activity the whole family can get involved in regardless of age.
You'll find strawberry-picking farms both north and south of the river, many within a 30-minute drive of Perth CBD. Here are a few farms to add to your list.
Wanneroo is a strawberry-picking haven, home to several pick-your-own farms. Make a beeline for Hoang Le's Strawberries, where you can fill a box with big, juicy berries straight from the field. Visitors regularly rave about the quality of the fruit, as well as the spacious rows that make picking easy and enjoyable.
Pick-your-own boxes are priced at $20 (cash or PAYID), with opening days and hours announced via the farm's Facebook page. These can change depending on the weather and fruit availability, so check the latest updates before setting off.
According to customers of Minh Tran’s Strawberry Farm, the family that owns it is incredibly friendly and welcoming to hopeful strawberry pickers. It’s just one of many reasons to head to their farm for a pick-your-own session, with their big, sweeter-than-the-supermarket strawberries being the main draw.
Visitors can enjoy pick-your-own sessions at the Neerabup property, while a second location at 171 Elliot Road, Wanneroo, has been added for the 2026 season. Boxes cost $20 to fill with fresh strawberries.
Opening times and picking conditions can change throughout the season, so it's best to check the farm's Facebook page before visiting. This is a cash-only venue.
Heading south of Perth, Russell Farm Strawberries is another local grower worth knowing about. The family-run business has two farm locations, with fresh strawberries and other produce available for purchase.
Russell Farm also offers a pick-your-own experience, where visitors can head into the fields and pick strawberries straight from the vine. The Anketell location is generally open daily from 9am to 5.30pm, while the second location at 777 Thomas Road is currently closed for the 2026 season.
If you're planning a visit, check the website for the latest picking sessions and ensure you're heading to the correct location.
H&N Strawberries is another option for families heading north of Perth, with a dedicated picking patch in Gnangara.
The farm has advertised weekend pick-your-own sessions during the 2026 season, with visitors able to fill a 3kg box for $20. Boxes are supplied, and entry is included with the purchase price.
Sessions generally run from 8am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with picking available until the fruit sells out or the farm closes. Getting there early is a good idea, particularly on busy weekends when the best berries can disappear quickly.
Pre-picked strawberries are also available for purchase. Check the farm's Facebook page for current opening days and availability before heading out.
Getting to Sue & Tim’s Fresh Farms is easy; follow either Alexander Drive or the Mitchell Freeway north and take the Ocean Reef Road exit. The farm sits at the intersection of Ocean Reef and Badgerup roads, with roadside parking available even on busy weekends.
The farm has offered pick-your-own opportunities at its Badgerup Road property, while its Ross Street location is another place to pick up freshly harvested strawberries.
If you're visiting on a pick-your-own day, head to the tent to collect an empty box to fill with fresh strawberries. A box costs $20 and holds approximately 3kg of fruit. Not all rows are open to the public at all times, so be sure to stick to the designated picking areas.
The best berries are often found further down the rows, where fewer people have ventured. The ground can be sandy, so closed-in shoes are recommended.
If you’re happy to venture a little further north, Pick Your Own Strawberries in Bullsbrook is well worth adding to your list.
For the 2026 season, the farm has advertised weekend sessions from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with trays priced at $15 and entry costing $2 per person. No bookings are required, so you can simply turn up during opening hours.
You can also treat yourself to an ice cream after picking.
The farm operates while strawberries are available, meaning picking can finish earlier than expected if the fields are picked out. Check its Facebook page before visiting, particularly later in the season.
My Strawberry Farm is another addition to Perth’s northern strawberry-picking circuit. The farm has advertised weekend pick-your-own sessions for the 2026 season, with visitors able to fill a 3kg box for $20. Picking sessions generally run from 8am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday.
The farm also has a produce shed selling pre-picked strawberries and other fresh produce. Shed opening hours and picking times don't always align, so check the Facebook page for the latest updates before visiting.
Opening hours, picking days and berry availability can change quickly depending on weather conditions and how much ripe fruit is available.
Before heading out, check each farm's latest Facebook updates and try to arrive early on busy weekends for the best selection of strawberries.
