Located in the Coal Valley, Tasmania, we’re home to the pick-your-own Littlewood Berry Farm, Littlewood Lamb and Jam Gin and Liqueurs.
Littlewood Farm is home to our pick-your-own strawberry patch, Littlewood Lamb and our Jam Gin and Liqueur.The Patch, as we affectionately call it, is a family friendly experience offering strawberry picking, BYO picnic lawns and the ‘Pet Paddock’ which is where our highland cows, Jimmy and Moo, and a few of our pet sheep live. The patch is also home to the Little Bean Coffee Van, which makes amazing coffee and assorted other tasty treats – the hot chocolate is a must try.
Entry to the patch is $8 per person over the ages of 2. Every entry fee receives a $6 credit/token/ …. coins called patch pennies. Our motto and what we stand by is, ‘Pay for what you pick and respect the patch’. This means please don’t eat any strawberries while picking and keep to the paths, taking care to avoid standing on the strawberry rows. We provide all punnets and containers but if you want to pick large quantities we have scales so you are more than welcome to bring your own bucket.All our produce is Chemical and Spray free, so we work very hard to make sure our plants stay healthy and happy, just like our customers.Thank you for supporting a small business in the heart of the Coal Valley and we hope you enjoy the experience of picking fresh produce. Eftpos is available.
Littlewood is a combination of both the family farms, Littleworth in Buckland and Anglewood in the Coal Valley. What started out as an idea to utelise the land along the heavily visited tourist route between Hobart and Richmond, with a pick your own strawberry patch, quickly turned into the thriving business you see there today.
This will be the berry farm’s 10th year, and we continue to learn and improve wherever we can. We have tried over 23 different varieties over the years, constantly searching for the perfect berries for our climate and location, and recently we settled on the perfect varieties.
When the Littlewood Farm opened, the goal was always to support locals first and tourists second and thanks to this, when covid hit the farm continued to thrive.
Over the years, Littlewood Strawberries, is now known as Littlewood Berry Farm, and has grown to include other products, such as ice cream, gin, coffee and local produce, as well as other experiences, with our education and school groups becoming incredibly popular. We pride ourselves in offering local products and knowledge and making these as accessible as possible.
