Address: Each farm listing includes a postal address, allowing you to visit directly if you wish.
Contact details: For each farm, you’ll find either a phone number, an email address, or both. This lets you:

Why did we create this map?
After having spent one and a half years on the road, we understand the importance of fruit picking to backpackers. Whether it is to top up your bank account or to apply for a second year visa, a big number of travellers stops by for a farm experience during their road trip. The struggle many backpackers face, consists of finding and contacting truly good farms, which can be a lot of work and take up quite some time. We lost many days on the road and had to spend a lot of money on fuel etc. So, in order for you to save time and to help you make the best of your travel, we want to share our knowledge and all the contact details we acquired throughout the past ten years spent in Australia.
Why is this map of 1,000+ farms a must-have?
Whether you’re staying in Australia for 3 months or a full year, finding a farm that’s actually hiring for fruit picking can make all the difference.
With over 1,000 carefully selected contacts — including harvest farms, packing sheds, and orchards — this map gives you:
- The region, crop type, farm name, and direct contact details (email or phone);
- The ability to target farms eligible for the 88 days of regional work required for your Working Holiday Visa extension;
- A huge time-saver, helping you avoid browsing scattered or outdated job ads.
How to find a job in fruit picking in Australia?
Once you have determined the region you plan on working in, it is time to start looking for farms. Like in any other job search, you will have to find the most direct way to communicate with your potential future employers. Given the circumstance that you are already in the region, try to score by showing up in person. In the case of you not being close to the farm, choose phone calls over sending emails. As you know, not all farmers from small, local farms are great fans of the internet!
In order to support you and your research in the most effective manner, every crucial information you need is provided on the map. Even after a first glance, you will be able to note very rapidly the regions that offer you the most opportunities.
📍 Eligible regions to renew your WHV
Find out which regions and areas are eligible for a working holiday visa renewal.
Every tagged farm is equipped with a postal address, so you have the possibility to introduce yourself face to face if you like.
We have made an effort to find the most precise addresses possible, though we were not able to trace all of them. But don’t worry, this only concerns a few farms, which have been marked as “incomplete address”.
Additionally, you will find at least a phone number or an email address for every single one of the farms, sometimes even both! That way you will be able to find out where to find and how to get to the farm, with or without a vehicle.
Lastly, some of the farms even have websites or Facebook pages, which you can visit. These might give you the most recent status concerning job offers.

A good way to find one is to go from farm to farm, but it can take a long time and cost a lot of money. Australia is a huge country, so it is easier to call the farms directly.
