The Bon Chretien pears should be ready to pick in a few days time so they will be on the Fruit Stall by the end of the week. 🙂
Even though we are out of apricots, there are still plenty in the Valley, so a trip up here will not be wasted.
The Black Doris plums will be a bit late this year but will definitely be in by the end of the month at the very latest. Omegas should start early March. 🙂

These are our first apple of the Season and are great for both cooking and eating. 🙂
Bon Chretien pears are still a few days away as the sugar levels aren’t high enough to pick yet.

There is a lot of wonderful fruit available throughout the Valley so a trip up to Roxburgh will not be wasted. 🙂

Meanwhile at Hercules Flat…….;)

Bon Chretien pears; also called Williams and Bartlett; should start in a week or ten days once the sugar level is up a wee bit more.
