Looking for a fun outdoor activity? The Fruit Corner in the Perth Hills (about 10 minutes from Kalamunda) is a great spot for fruit picking in Perth.
Imagine the kiddo’s faces as they pick crisp Granny Smith apples straight from the trees at this charming family-run orchard. There’s something magical about harvesting your own fruit that makes even the pickiest eaters eager to enjoy the “fruits” of their bounty. This hands-on experience provides a great way to spend time outside and for little ones to learn where their fruit comes from, and no, it isn’t Coles.
Perth parents know how precious these family moments are. In our busy lives, opportunities to connect with nature and show our children where food comes from are invaluable. The simple joy of reaching for an apple, feeling its weight, and carefully twisting it from the branch creates the kind of sensory experience that stays with children. Remember to bring your own bags for your harvest! This sustainable practice teaches children another valuable lesson about caring for our environment.
The Fruit Corner isn’t just about apple picking. Their farm shed brims with their homemade preserves many made from recipes passed down for generations.
Plus, there’s locally grown fresh produce, raw honey, and farm-fresh eggs.
The Fruit Corner offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy fresh air, connection with nature, and pick your own delicious, healthy treats. Create family memories as you wander through the orchard, select the perfect apples, and discover local goodies to bring home. Enjoy an apple a day, or why not bake a good old fashioned apple pie? Yum!
Of course, this is a seasonal activity, so always be sure to check The Fruit Corner’s Facebook Page for opening times and picking availability before visiting. Late summer there might be stone fruit and cherry tomatoes available for sale/picking, while later into autumn red apples become ripe for the picking! Be sure to follow the rules, don’t cross into the tape/flagged areas and don’t pick unripe fruit.
Looking for somewhere to eat afterwards? Head to nearby Core Cider House or Masonmill Cafe & Bar. The Fruit Corner is a scenic drive from Perth that adds to the day’s adventure. Fruit picking is available from 10am to 2pm and shed sales continuing until 3pm. We do recommend double checking opening times on their socials.
Find the Fruit Corner at 1 Bracken Road in Pickering Brook.
