PYO Moorparks Still On Hold
Our PYO Moorparks will be starting again on Thursday once they have ripened sufficiently.
We still have some PYO Roxburgh Red and a handful of PYO Sundrop available.
We expect to start our Red Haven Peaches this Friday as well as our PYO Nectarines.
The 35c days we have been having is perfect for ripening up the fruit.
Let the good times roll!
PYO Moorparks Have Been Put On Hold
In order to allow the remaining Moorparks to ripen up we are canceling PYO Moorparks for next day or two.
We will be starting them again Wednesday or Thursday.
We still have PYO Roxburgh Red available though.
Getting Low On PYO
We are starting get low on PYO Apricots.
We have a no Sundrop or Valley Gold left but we still have a few Roxburgh Reds and a good supply of Moorparks.
We have no Nectarines at the moment but the next variety (Sun Glow) should start at the end of the week.
We are hoping our Red Haven Peaches will start around the same time.
On the Stall we still have Apricots available as well as Shiro Plums (3kg for $6) and Red Gravenstein Apples (2.5kg for $5).
Still Have PYO But It’s All Ladder Work
We have had a massive few days of PYO.
We have pretty much been cleaned out of Valley Gold Apricots and the first variety of Nectarines.
We still have Roxburgh Red, Moorpark and some tree-ripened Sundrop Apricots available for picking but you must be willing and able to get up a ladder in order to get a good amount of fruit.
We have no Nectarines available right now but hope to have another variety available for PYO by the end of the week.
The Red Haven Peaches are not ripe yet but we expect them to be good to go by the end of the week/next weekend.
On the Stall we have a range of boxed Apricots as well as Red Gravenstein Apples* (2.5 kg bags for $5) and Shiro Plums (3kg bags of $9).
*Please note that the Red Gravenstein are $2/kg becuase they are a very early Apple. Our main Apples such as Royal Gala will still be $1/kg.
PYO Moorparks and Nectarines Start Today!
We are starting our PYO Moorparks and Nectarines today!
We also have PYO Roxburgh Red and PYO Valley Gold Apricots available as well.
Today is meant to be another cracker of a day with the temperature due to hit around 30c.
Perfect PYO weather!
PYO Moorparks and PYO Nectarines Start This Weekend!
We are starting our PYO Moorpark and Valley Gold Apricots and PYO Nectarines this Saturday!
As always the price $1.90/kg.
We are pretty much picked out of Sundrop but we still have plenty of PYO Roxburgh Red and expect to still have them through to early next week.
And of course we have a great range of 1st and 2nd grade Apricot boxes available on the Stall as well.
We are hoping to start PYO Red Haven Peaches on Sunday but we can’t be sure thanks to the ridiculous weather we are having.
We should have Billington Plums available on the Stall on Saturday/Sunday and we should also have Shiro Plums on the Stall early next week.
Our Bon Chretian Pears are sizing up nicely and should begin around Waitangi weekend.
Last of the Sundrops
We are almost completely out of PYO Sundrops and expect to only have them for today and maybe tomorrow.
We still have plenty of Roxburgh Reds available for PYO.
We will be starting PYO Moorpark and Valley Gold Apricots this Saturday (January 26) along with PYO Nectarines!
Still Have Some Sundrops
We had a very busy weekend but we still have a good amount of Sundrops available and we have heaps of Roxburgh Red available.
Perfect weather for the next 2 days so it will be perfect picking weather.
Still Got Sundrops
We had a lot of Sundrops picked yesterday but there is still a good amount on the trees for PYO.
We still have heaps of Roxburgh Reds as well.
The weather is meant nice and fine today so it should another great PYO day.
Last Weekend for PYO Sundrops
This weekend will be the last weekend for PYO Sundrops.
We are also starting our PYO Roxburgh Red Apricots.
If you are planning to come and PYO today or tomorrow then I recommend you arrive early to avoid the rush as we expect to get very busy this weekend.
The weather is meant to be fine with a possible light shower later on but nothing serious.
A perfect day for PYO!
