If you’re looking for a peaceful way to spend a morning or afternoon, The Fruit Corner in Pickering Brook is a great option. Just a short drive from Kalamunda, this family-run orchard offers a chance to pick your own apples and enjoy the fresh air of the Perth Hills.
The orchard is known for its crisp Granny Smith apples, which you can pick straight from the tree during the season. There’s no rush—take your time wandering the rows, choosing the best fruit, and soaking up the scenery. Don’t forget to bring your own bags for your harvest.
Inside the farm shed, you’ll find shelves stocked with homemade preserves, many made from family recipes. There’s also a selection of local produce, raw honey, and farm-fresh eggs available for purchase. It’s a good spot to pick up a few treats to take home or share with friends.
Fruit picking is a seasonal activity, so it’s best to check The Fruit Corner’s Facebook page for current opening hours and what’s available to pick. In late summer, you might find stone fruit and cherry tomatoes, while autumn is the time for apples. The orchard asks visitors to stick to the marked areas and only pick ripe fruit.
If you’d like to make a day of it, there are several cafes nearby, including Core Cider House and Masonmill Cafe & Bar—both popular for a relaxed lunch or coffee after your visit.
The Fruit Corner is open for picking from 10am to 2pm, with the farm shed open until 3pm. You’ll find it at 1 Bracken Road, Pickering Brook.
For a gentle outing that combines fresh produce, local charm, and a bit of country air, The Fruit Corner is well worth a visit.
