Fruit Season
We Are Out of Apricots and Nectarines
We have finished our Apricots and Nectarines for the season.
Right now all we have is Bon Chretian Pears and Billington Plums.
We lost a large amount of Black Doris and Omega Plums in the 140kph winds a week and a half ago so we are not sure at this stage if we will have any for sale on the Stall this year.
Stay tuned.
Billington Plums Now Available!
We now have Billington plums available on the Fruit Stall.
Billington are a red-flesh plum that is juicy and has an excellent flavour.
It is suitable for
· Bottling
· Eating
· Jam
· Sauces
They are available in 2kg bags for $5
We still have P.Y.O Apricots and P.Y.O Nectarines available but I’m not sure how long they will last for as it all depends on how many people pick tomorrow.
Realistically I can see tomorrow being the last day for the Nectarines and possibly the Apricots but I think the latter will last maybe a day or two longer.
We Have Pears!
We have just started our Bon Chretian Pears today.
We are selling them in 5kg bags for $5.
Bon Chretians are brilliant for preserving or eating once ripe.
We have a few Nectarines and Apricots left for P.Y.O tomorrow and MAYBE Sunday but it’s right at the end of the P.Y.O Season now.
Had A Busy Weekend
We have had a very busy Waitangi weekend with heaps of P.Y.Oers picking in the lovely summer weather.
We still have some Nectarines available as well as some Stevens Favourite Apricots for P.Y.O but we expect them to all be gone by the end of the week.
We Have P.Y.O Nectarines and P.Y.O Apricots For Waitangi Weekend
This weekend we have heaps of P.Y.O Nectarines and a good amount of P.Y.O Apricots available @ $1.90/kg.
This is our last big P.Y.O weekend for the season so make sure you don’t miss out!
P.Y.O Nectarines Have Started Again
Our second variety of Nectarines is now ready for P.Y.O.
They are sweet and full of flavor making them ideal for stewing/bottling or eating.
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 Roxburgh Reds and Nectarines Are Ready!!
We now have P.Y.O Roxburgh Red Apricots and P.Y.O Nectarines available for $1.90/kg.
We still have Sundrop Apricots available for P.Y.O as well.
