Hobbs Orchard update

8 December

The Fruit Stall will open tomorrow, Friday 9 December, for the Season. 🙂

As the Early Cherries were destroyed by the adverse weather conditions, all that will grace our Stall at the start will be:

Early Spuds (Rocket)….2kg bags for $5-00 
Farm Eggs…….. $5-00 per dozen
Comfrey Plants……..$3-00 each
If you want to pre-order your spuds then send me a PM or txt/call me on 027 210 6457 and I’ll make sure they are freshly dug for you to pick up. 🙂

The Dawson Cherries are still on track and should be ready a few days before Xmas.  🙂

All the rest of the fruit is looking good with the apricots on the stall hopefully by the 6th January with PYO starting approx. 10th January.
Will keep you posted. 😉

Remember we courier all varieties of apricots, plums, pears and apples during the season.
Sorry we don’t courier nectarines or peaches.

All of our produce is grown on our Orchard as we only sell what we grow.
And the chooky eggs are fresh from our faithful thirteen girls. 🙂

During the fruit season if we don’t have the variety of fruit you desire we will point you in the right direction to one of the other Stalls in the Teviot Valley ensuring your visit to Central is a fruitful one.

We had a quick road trip up the West Coast earlier this week to recharge the batteries before the job of thinning starts 🙂 Crammed so much in with a lot of laughter along the way. Even Goofy, our car mascot, enjoyed the journey; Goofy has travelled thousands of kilometres with us throughout the years.
