Full On Weekend!!!

We had a really successful and busy P.Y.O weekend which was excellent!

We still have a small amount of Moorparks on the trees and even though it is mostly ladder work there is still some good fruit out there waiting to be picked and bottled!

Still Got Moorparks!!!

We had a really successful and busy P.Y.O day today but we still have a good amount of Moorparks on the trees.
It is mostly ladder work but there is still some excellent fruit just waiting to be picked!

We still have Roxburgh Reds for P.Y.O as well and they are reasonably plentiful and full of flavour.

Moorparks Start On Saturday!!

Our P.Y.O Moorparks start on Saturday and so far they look to be in real nice condition with not too many splits.

Our first variety of P.Y.O Nectarines has finished but we expect our next variety to be ready in about a week or so depending on how much sun and warm weather we get.

We still have some Roxburgh Reds for P.Y.O but there is a bit of ladder work involved.
There are still some really nice ones out there though.

P.Y.O Sundrops Start On Saturday

Just a quick note to let you all know that we will be commencing P.Y.O on the Sundrop Apricots from tomorrow on.
The price is same as last year, $1.90/kg.

We also have a range of bottling boxes of Sundrop available on the Fruit Stall.
1st Grade are $3/kg and 2nd Grade are $2.50/kg.

We Are Open!

We are now Open for the 2011/2012 season!!!!

We currently have available:
Dawson Cherries, 1kg bags for $8
New Spuds, 3kg for $5
Broad Beans, 1kg for $4

Important Notice

Due to family illness we are unable to courier fruit this season as we are one man down.
We apologise profusely and next season we will be running once again at full capacity.
We will be providing as usual a well-stocked stall and PYO on Apricots, Peaches, and Nectarines as they come on.

Cherry Update

The Cherry crop is a bit light this year so we will be unable to courier them this season.
Sorry about this.

We are hoping to start picking them around 24 December.
As soon as the Dawson Cherries ripen, we will be opening the Fruit Stall and we will have new spuds, broad beans and peas on the go as well as Cherries.

We are in the middle of a heat wave at the moment!
We’ve had 33 degree temperatures for the past three days and I’ve been run off my feet moving irrigation pipes around the Orchard!

An Update From Ruby

It’s time to get out the jars and give them a good a wash as it is nearly Apricot time!
The estimated time of picking the first varieties, which are Sundrop and Early Rill, should be 8-10 January.
Will keep you updated.

Heat Wave!!!

Mum, Ruby and I have revamped the entrance to our 1950’s style Fruit Stall over the past couple of weeks.
Check it out!

Hopefully we’ll be open on 24 December with Cherries, new Spuds, Peas and Broad Beans for sale.

 

It was extremely hot today!!
Earthing up Spuds on a 30c day probably wasn’t the wisest of jobs to tackle!

Dad was thinning fruit under the shade of some large Apricot trees so he escaped the intense heat.
Lucky him!!!!!!
