What spray-free growers around Perth offer
Spray-free and organic growers in and around Perth cover a wide spread of the state, from the cooler southern regions like Pemberton, Manjimup and Margaret River through to the Perth Hills, the Swan Valley, and up north to Carnarvon. Because WA's growing zones are so varied, the produce on offer changes with the season and the region. Southern growers tend to do well with leafy greens, brassicas, stone fruit and berries, while warmer northern areas like Carnarvon are known for a longer tomato, capsicum and melon season.
"Spray-free" and "certified organic" are not the same thing. Certified organic growers are audited against a national standard and can carry a logo from bodies such as ACO (Australian Certified Organic) or NASAA. "Spray-free" is a claim made by the grower that they don't use synthetic sprays, but it isn't independently audited unless they're also certified. Both can be perfectly good options — the key is understanding which one you're buying and asking questions if you're unsure.
This page features growers including Lake Janis Farm (Pemberton / Manjimup), Gathered Organics and Burnside Organic Farm (Margaret River), Perth Organics in Caversham, Blueberry Bliss Bindoon, Agia Skepi Family Farm in Lower Chittering, Dirty Clean Food in Malaga, and several others across the state. Ratings and review counts vary widely, so it's worth reading recent reviews before committing to a regular order.
How they sell
There are a few common ways to buy spray-free and organic produce in WA:
- Farm gate: Buying directly from the property, often at set hours or by appointment. This is usually the freshest and can be the cheapest, but you need to travel and check availability.
- Farmers market stalls: Many growers bring produce to weekend markets across Perth and the regions. Good for meeting the grower and asking questions face to face.
- Home delivery and boxes: Some businesses run weekly veg box or online ordering with delivery around the metro area. Convenient, but you often take what's in season rather than picking each item.
- Co-ops and buying groups: Food co-ops pool orders from members, which can bring prices down and widen the range available.
Some growers combine several of these. It's common to see a farm sell at the gate and also supply a market stall or a delivery service.
Typical price ranges
Prices vary a lot by season, region, certification and how you buy, so treat the following as a rough guide only — always confirm current pricing with the supplier.
- Leafy greens and herbs: roughly $3–$8 a bunch
- Common vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions): often $4–$10 per kg
- Tomatoes and capsicums: often $6–$14 per kg depending on season
- Berries: often $5–$12 per punnet, with blueberries and specialty berries at the higher end
- Mixed veg boxes: commonly $35–$70 depending on size and inclusions
Certified organic produce usually sits at the higher end of these ranges. Buying seasonal, in-region and in bulk (or through a co-op) is generally the cheapest approach.
How to choose a supplier
- Check certification if the claim matters to you. If a grower says "certified organic," look for an ACO or NASAA logo or certification number. If they say "spray-free," ask what that means in practice.
- Look for transparency about growing practices. Good growers are happy to explain how they manage pests, weeds and soil without synthetic sprays.
- Read recent reviews. Review counts on this page range from a handful to over ninety. A high star rating with only a few reviews carries less weight than a solid rating across many. Note that some listings have no reviews yet, and one listing has a low rating — read the detail before deciding.
- Match the buying method to your life. If you can't get to Margaret River or Carnarvon regularly, a metro delivery service or market stall will suit you better than a distant farm gate.
- Consider seasonality. The best-value, freshest produce is what's in season in that region right now.
Questions worth asking
- Are you certified organic, and with which body? If not, what does "spray-free" mean for your farm?
- What's in season and available this week?
- Do you sell at the farm gate, at markets, or by delivery — and what are the hours or cut-off times?
- Do you offer boxes or bulk pricing, or work with a co-op?
- Where is the produce grown, and is any of it bought in from other growers?
Asking these upfront saves surprises and helps you find a grower whose approach and location genuinely fit how you shop. Use the listings on this page as a starting point, then contact growers directly to confirm current produce, pricing and how to order.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between spray-free and certified organic?
Certified organic growers are independently audited against a national standard and can display a logo from a body such as ACO or NASAA. "Spray-free" is a claim the grower makes about not using synthetic sprays, but it isn't independently audited unless they're also certified. Ask the grower what their claim covers.
Where can I buy spray-free fruit and veg in Perth?
You can buy at the farm gate, from farmers market stalls, through weekly delivery or veg box services, or via food co-ops and buying groups. This page lists growers across WA, from Margaret River and Pemberton to the Perth Hills, Swan Valley and Carnarvon.
How much does spray-free or organic produce cost?
As a rough guide, leafy greens run around $3–$8 a bunch, common vegetables around $4–$10 per kg, and mixed veg boxes around $35–$70. Certified organic tends to sit at the higher end. Prices change with season and region, so always confirm current pricing with the supplier.
How do I check if a grower is genuinely certified organic?
Look for a certification logo or number from a recognised body such as ACO (Australian Certified Organic) or NASAA. If it isn't displayed, ask the grower directly. If they describe themselves as spray-free rather than certified, ask exactly what practices that involves.
What produce is in season around Perth and WA?
It depends on the region. Cooler southern areas like Pemberton and Margaret River are strong on leafy greens, brassicas, stone fruit and berries, while warmer northern areas such as Carnarvon have a longer season for tomatoes, capsicums and melons. Ask your grower what's available that week.
