Southern Tasmania has a strong network of organic and biodynamic farms selling straight to the public — through farm gates, farm shops, pick-your-own days and market stalls. This guide covers how these growers typically sell, what you can expect to pay, and how to choose a supplier you can trust.
La Luna Farm is an organically-run, no-till market garden in Southern Tasmania growing a broad mix of vegetables, fruit and flowers. Produce is available through weekly vegetable-box subscriptions and supplied to restaurants and wholefood stores, with farm-gate sales planned.
Spray-free regenerative farm in the Huon Valley: vegetables, strawberries, tomatoes and eggs; farm tours and direct farm visits to buy produce.
Valley Fresh Farm is a Huon Valley producer growing chemical-free fruit, vegetables and seedlings, with updates shared mainly through Facebook.
NASAA certified 'A' grade organic (cert no. 7029). Organic baby vegetables, salad leaves, microgreens, herbs and berries; sold via green grocers and restaurants throughout Tasmania.
Certified organic family blueberry farm (fresh and freeze-dried). Sells online and at Harvest Launceston farmers market.
Family-run spray-free vegetable microfarm on the East Coast. 100% own-grown produce; direct farm sales, local delivery around St Helens and an Open Food Network webshop.
Chemical-free regenerative-style farm focused on soil health; sells produce at Harvest Launceston community farmers market.
Matt Tack and Coreen Ung run Our Mates Farm in Geeveston, growing certified organic eating and cider apples with no chemical storage inputs, alongside pasture-fed rare-breed pigs, beef and lamb. Their work was recognised with the 2021 Sprout Tasmania Producer Award.
Organic and biodynamic growers in and around Hobart tend to sell a rotating mix of seasonal produce rather than a fixed supermarket-style range. Depending on the farm and the time of year, you might find leafy greens, brassicas, root vegetables, salad crops, berries, tree fruit (apples and stone fruit are big in the Huon Valley), garlic, herbs, eggs and sometimes value-added lines like preserves, honey or seedlings.
Because Tasmania has a genuine cold season, expect availability to swing hard with the calendar. Summer and autumn are the busiest for fresh produce and pick-your-own; winter often narrows things down to storage crops, hardy greens and whatever is grown under cover.
This page features farms across southern and northern Tasmania — including La Luna Farm and Longley Organic Farm in the south, several Huon Valley growers such as Appinoka Regenerative Farming and Valley Fresh Farm, and northern operations like Kindred Organics and Three Peaks Organics. Ranges and selling methods vary from farm to farm, so it's worth checking each one directly.
There are a few common models, and many farms use more than one:
Prices vary widely by season, farm, certification and how you buy, so treat these as rough guides only, not quotes:
Certified-organic and biodynamic produce often sits at the higher end because of lower yields, more hand-work and certification costs. Farm-gate and pick-your-own prices can be better value than retail, but the trade-off is limited hours and travel.
Look for certification where organic claims are made. In Australia, genuine organic and biodynamic operators are usually certified through bodies such as Australian Certified Organic (ACO) or NASAA. If a farm markets itself as "certified organic", ask which body certifies them and for their certification number. Some smaller growers describe themselves as "spray-free", "chemical-free" or "regenerative" without formal certification — that's legitimate, but it means you're relying on their word and transparency rather than an audited standard.
Check transparency about growing practices. Good producers are happy to explain what they do and don't use, how they manage soil and pests, and where any bought-in stock comes from. Vague answers are a flag.
Read reviews and ratings. Reviews give a sense of reliability, produce quality and how the farm handles orders. On this page you'll see farms with strong ratings and a decent review count, like Longley Organic Farm, alongside newer or smaller listings with few or no reviews yet — a low review count isn't a mark against a farm, just less public feedback to go on.
Match the selling model to your needs. If you want convenience, favour farms with delivery, boxes or a market stall near you. If you enjoy the outing, farm gate and pick-your-own are hard to beat.
A quick call or message before you visit saves a wasted trip, especially in the cooler months when hours and stock tighten up. Buying direct also means you can build a relationship with the grower and get a heads-up when your favourites come back into season.

Certified organic farms are independently audited against a standard by a body such as ACO or NASAA and can use the certification logo. 'Spray-free' or 'chemical-free' are self-described claims without formal certification — they may be accurate, but you're relying on the grower's transparency rather than an audit. Ask each farm which applies to them.
Summer and autumn are the peak seasons for fresh produce, berries and pick-your-own across southern Tasmania. Winter narrows the range to storage crops, hardy greens and undercover-grown vegetables. Availability changes fast, so check with the farm before visiting.
Many farms have a farm gate or honesty stall you can visit, but hours are often limited and seasonal. Others sell mainly through market stalls, veg boxes or delivery. It's best to confirm hours and stock directly before making the trip, especially for pick-your-own days.
Certified organic and biodynamic produce often costs more than conventional supermarket lines due to lower yields and certification costs, but farm-gate and pick-your-own prices can be competitive. As a rough guide only, expect vegetables around $4–$12 per kg and mixed veg boxes around $30–$60 — always check current prices with the farm.
In Australia, raw (unpasteurised) milk cannot be sold for human consumption. Some producers market products like cosmetic or 'bath' milk, or run herd-share arrangements, which are framed differently from drinking milk. For the rules on milk safety, refer to FSANZ guidance. Most farms on this page focus on fruit, vegetables and other produce rather than dairy.
