These days I am often asked how this \u2018nasty virus\u2019 has affected us as many friends are being paid to stay at home and sadly some will not have a job to go back to, while others will.
\nAbsolutely tragic for the businesses which will go under ?<\/span><\/span>
\nPleased to report I am still working, but getting out of bed at 5am not 4am these days \u23f0<\/span><\/span>
\nWe will ride through this tragedy and even though the Fruit Stall had to close early, we are extremely grateful to still having courier orders and contactless pickups so life goes on pretty much as usual so between picking, packing and early pruning, I have the same full day, each and everyday ?<\/span><\/span> And I am fortunate as I really love \u2018my job\u2019 and as an added bonus, our \u2018bubble\u2019 is both home and Orchard, soooo my daily ride around the Orchard on my Kawasaki Mule with my gorgeous sister Belle has not been hindered, much to her delight ?<\/span><\/span>\u2764\ufe0f<\/span><\/span>
\nSam is kept busy with his work and Mum\u2019s extra spare time has given her more time in the garden. There is always a trailer of garden prunings to take away ?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>
\nSo everyone please keep an eye on family and friends as life can change in a heartbeat \u2764\ufe0f<\/span><\/span>\u2764\ufe0f<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Next Monday is full up for courier orders but I still have spaces for Tuesday to both the North and South Island and Wednesday just the South Island.
\nNext week we have the last of the Royal Gala apples as well as Golden Delicious – Golden Delicious are a great eating and cooking apple – excellent for pies, crumbles, shortcakes, etc. ?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>
\nRed Delicious and Braeburn are now available. Granny Smith will be starting the week after.
\nQuinces are still available – if you would like my Mum\u2019s quince jelly recipe, let me know and I\u2019ll PM it to you. Sending out orders in 10kg and 15kg boxes. As usual pm or txt me 0272886090 to place an order or for any fruit enquiries ?<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
