‘Earli Ril’ apricots are on the Fruit Stall as from today. 🙂
The heat yesterday brought them on quicker than anticipated 😉

We are selling them in 3kg boxes for $10 and 6kg boxes for $18.
The fruit is at the ideal stage for bottling, freezing, jam, stewing, etc :).
Remember firm apricots are the best for jam making as they guarantee a good set everytime. 🙂

We still have Lapin and Margaret cherries available in 1kg punnets for $8 🙂

‘Sundrop’ apricots should start in a few days with PYO hopefully starting on 9 January.
Will keep you posted.

This weekend on the Stall we have Lapin and Margaret cherries in 1kg punnets for $8 🙂
No apricots just yet as even though they look nice and orange on the tree they are still a few days away yet.
We could pick them now and they’d look great but they just wouldn’t be edible and we NEVER sell unripe fruit 🙂
PYO apricots are still on track to start on January 9 and we should have some Earli Ril and Sundrop apricots on the Stall around next Wednesday 🙂
Stay tuned for more info 😉

P.S… Here’s me having a late afternoon siesta after a long day of picking cherries, obviously dreaming of the ripening apricots 😉

A Happy New Year to all our friends/customers 🙂
You are a great bunch and we look forward to seeing you all sometime in the New Year. 🙂
Let’s hope we all have a great 2016. 🙂

Due to huge demand we have completely sold out of new spuds for the season 🙂
We still have plenty of cherries available on the Stall in 1kg punnets for $8.
The varieties we have at present are Margaret (old variety), Williamson (old variety) and Stella 🙂

It looks like we’ll have ‘Earli Ril’ apricots (old variety) available on the Stall from January 4 and PYO ‘Sundrop’ apricots should start around January 9. 🙂

Another very hot day! I can hear the fruit ripening as I write. 😉
Once the temperature goes down, I will be cranking up “Little Toot” to give the trees a well deserved drink as they need it after all this recent extreme heat!

On the Stall we have Stella cherries ($8/kg) and freshly dug new spuds ($5 per 2kg bag). 🙂
It looks like we’ll have ‘Earli Ril’ apricots (old variety) available on the Stall from January 4 and PYO ‘Sundrop’ apricots should start around January 9. 🙂
Will keep you posted. 😉

We hope everybody had a great time with family and friends today. 🙂
Tomorrow we will have cherries and new spuds on the Stall.
I’ll be up at first light picking them both. 😉
