In the Derwent Valley at Lachlan, about 40 minutes from Hobart, this cherry orchard sells both pick-your-own and pre-picked fruit through the short Tasmanian summer season, with pre-picked cherries typically going for around ten dollars a kilo. The operation runs through Facebook and WeChat rather than a conventional website, reflecting a customer base that includes a strong contingent of Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking visitors driving up from Hobart for the day; staff communicate across all three languages. The valley's cool nights and river frontage suit cherries well, and the season here follows the same tight window as the rest of the state's growers: fruit ready from around December, gone within weeks. It's a straightforward, low-key operation without a shopfront or café, built around the trees themselves. Worth calling ahead, since picking windows depend entirely on how the fruit is running that week.
