Located in beautiful Northern Tasmania, just 30 minutes north of Launceston, Hillwood Farmgate provides direct -from-the-farm produce from our own berry farm as well as selected producers from the local area. Unlike most pick-you-own operations our primary business is still farming, producing the commercial berries you see on supermarket shelves around Australia. Our philosophy is to open up some of the farm to the public so you can get hands on and select your very own produce to enjoy when you get home.
