PYO Update
Just a reminder to those who want to PYO please bring your own containers
For those wanting a large amount for bottling or freezing, laundry baskets – supermarket bags – crates – buckets – cardboard boxes, etc are ideal.
And for those wanting just a few apricots, a supermarket bag is ideal.
For safety reasons obviously children are not allowed on the ladders. Children are always happy to watch as long as you give them plenty of apricots to eat…a wonderful bribe to keep the peace…
Sundrops are still plentiful, and Roxburgh Red only started yesterday so they are plentiful as well.
Clutha Gold and Peeka will be on the Stall next week…will keep you posted.
Steven’s Favourite will be on the Fruit Stall by end of next week
Moorpark apricots are in about 8-10 days and will be PYO…will keep you posted.
If you don’t preserve apricots by way of bottling all is not lost as freezing is so easy.
Just halve and put in a freezer bag and then straight into the freezer.
Cook from frozen and they taste like they are just off the tree.
PYO Nectarines start this Saturday They are very popular, and it will be all over within a few short days. Then the next variety starts roughly in approx. 2 weeks.
We do not sell PYO nectarines to Fruit Hawkers – they are for families who are bottling, freezing and eating only.
There will not be any on the Fruit Stall.
Plums will be ripe within days and will be on the Stall in a few days time.
Thank goodness the Sun finally found us!
Open 7 days
7am – 9pm
Pyo Sundrop apricots are in full swing
Just a reminder to everyone who is intending to pyo to bring your own supermarket bags, buckets, washing baskets etc
We do have some shopping bags for those who forget.
Please come up to the fruit stall to report in before entering the Orchrd to PYO
Another gorgeous day up here We have plenty of boxed apricots on the stall for those who dont want to PYO.

PYO Update
Sam has just informed me that PYO Sundrop apricots will start this Saturday 4th January, as the intense heat over the past two days has ripened the fruit evenly enough to start up
As usual there will be plenty of large boxes of Sundrops on the Fruit Stall for those who don’t want to PYO but still want bulk apricots for bottling/freezing.
There is no urgency to get up here right now as PYO Sundrops will last a while and there is more varieties coming on.
We had rain all night and it is still gently falling 
thankfully Sam and crew picked plenty yesterday so Sandra (Mum) and I are packing Sundrops as I write
So we will have plenty of large and small boxes and bags on the Fruit Stall as usual.
Another few days wait for the next variety of plums as they are not quite ripe yet.
