We have been hectic the past few days and the PYO nectarines have been cleaned out much earlier than expected!?
Our apricots are also finished for the season.

We now have Bon Chretian pears and Red Gravenstein apples on the Stall as well as our beautiful Purple King and devine Black Amber plums.?

Just a tad warm…..

We have pulled the pin on PYO apricots after an extremely busy weekend but there are 7kg boxes of Clutha Gold on the Stall at a price of $20.
We have some 8kg stewing/freezing boxes for $20 as well. There is also the odd box of Moorparks.
Mum has never seen a time where PYO has been pulled so early…..apologies to all those who didn’t get up on time.
The extreme heat combined with an already early season meant that the apricots weren’t waiting around for anyone this year!
Billington plums are in 3kg bags and are $10.
Great plum for bottling, sauce, jam and eating.
They are our first red flesh plum of the Season.
Black Amber plums will be on the Stall as from Wednesday.
3 kg bags – $10.
Large blackish-purple skin plum with yellow flesh with red streaks. Great for eating & cooking.
The PYO nectarines will start on Thursday.
Our very first apple of the Season will be ready in about a week.
The Red Gravenstein is a good apple for both cooking and eating.
It has a sweet, tart taste and has firm, crisp flesh.
Great for pies, crumbles, apple sauce, chutney, eating or just stewed apples with custard. Yum! ?

The recent extreme heat (40 degree days) and the heavy rain last night has been a wee bit of a nuisance. ?
This weekend we will have plenty of PYO Roxburgh Red, Moorpark and Stevens Favourite apricots but I am afraid PYO apricots will come to an end on Sunday evening.
Boxes of Clutha Gold apricots will be available on the Fruit Stall as will Billington plums in 3kg bags.
The nectarines are still a few days away.
From Monday onwards we will have plums and Clutha Gold apricots on the Stall.
Will keep you posted.

Due to the current heat wave, we are unable to accept any more apricot courier orders as they are too warm to pack up. Sorry about this.
PYO apricots still available and plenty of apricots are on the Fruit Stall.
Billington red flesh plums will be on the Stall from this Thurday.
These are great for eating, bottling, stewing, jam and freezing.
The next variety of nectarines will probably be ready in a week.
The PYO Sundrops are nearly finished. Plenty of Roxburgh Reds on the trees. These are an old variety full of flavour.
