We will open for the Season on Saturday 16 December with new spuds and cherries

At the moment it looks like our first apricots will be on the Fruit Stall at the beginning of January…..will keep you posted…

Our Family Orchard, which is very easy to find, is located at Hercules Flat, only 2km from Roxburgh, on the East side of the Clutha River.

Our old fashioned, 1950’s style Fruit Stall, is surrounded by gardens and was created by Mum over thirty years ago.

Mum and I have been busy painting the Fruit Stall inside and out and Sam has been helping out by putting up a new trellis for us……all set for another Fruit Season….we love this time of the year!

Plenty of easy parking, suitable for all types of vehicles including mobile homes, buses, large caravans, etc.

I (Ruby) manage the Fruit Stall – contact me on 027 288 6090 anytime for fruit orders, fruit queries, directions ….weather reports….etc……Sandra (Mum) works alongside me in the Fruit Stall, and Sam and Co. ensure the fruit is picked daily

The Fruit Stall is stocked continually throughout each and every day

We sell a wide range of fruit, starting with cherries, followed by many varieties of apricots, plums, nectarines, apples, pears and quinces in different size boxes and bags

Remember to check our Website or Facebook as to what is available at any given time or txt/phone me (Ruby)…..027 288 6090 anytime of the day

During January, PYO apricots is also available along with PYO nectarines.

As we are weather dependant, varieties of fruit ripen at different times so best to check before coming as to whether it is ready or for an indiction as to what day it will be available on the stall

“Pick Your Own” is popular for those wanting a large amount of fruit at a reduced cost for bottling and freezing.

We also sell bagged apples in bulk, for fund-raising, so txt me if you would like more info on this

Our motto has always been

‘Selling fruit at affordable prices’.

Easy Directions To Our Place.…

When you arrive in Roxburgh, turn down Jedburgh Street which is directly opposite the Petrol Station and travel a couple of hundred metres down the road towards the Clutha River……turn right off the bridge…..you will find us only 2 km down the road….. you will see our Hobbs Orchard sign at the entrance on the left-hand side of the road…. come on up the driveway.

If you are visiting us for the first time and you are coming from Millers Flat end, please ignore Google maps and GPS systems as apparently they show our neighbours driveway as our main entrance!

This is obviously incorrect……I have tried to have this issue rectified but to no avail.

So please ignore your GPS, etc when they tell you to cross the bridge at Millers Flat…..just keep on the main highway and follow the above instructions when you reach Roxburgh.

Our actual entrance is well sign-posted and has been for over thirty years!

Looking forward to catching up with you all.
