19 January
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. 
? Fruit Update ?
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.
PYO Moorparks start on Thursday. Txt Ruby on 0272886090 if you need any further information
