Fresh harvests, rather than shop availability

A crop appears when growers in Australia normally harvest it during that month. The calendar excludes imports and produce available only from long-term storage, heated greenhouses, or other protected methods.

Locally grown produce sold outside these harvest months may have been stored after harvest. A blank fruit or vegetable month does not mean shops have no locally grown produce.

This is a selected catalogue of common fruit and vegetables, not a complete list of every crop in Australia. Herbs, mushrooms, nuts and rhubarb are outside its scope. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are grouped with vegetables.

Seasons vary across Australia

This is an approximate national guide, not a local crop forecast. Weather, latitude, altitude, cultivar, and farming method can shift harvest dates by several weeks. Harvests may begin earlier in warmer areas and later in cooler areas.

The catalogue keeps seasons shared by the temperate and subtropical guides from Sydney and Brisbane. Availability in one state does not count as nationwide availability. Tropical, inland and cooler southern regions can have different harvest timing.

Use the calendar to plan seasonal meals, then check what's being harvested by growers near you. The month ranges describe typical seasons rather than a prediction for this year's weather.

Australia calendar sources

The catalogue draws on Sydney Local Health District and Brisbane City Council seasonal guides, using their shared harvest periods. Read the source guide and methodology for how evidence is selected.
