Coxes Orange Have Started
We have just started our Coxes Orange Apples.
Coxes Orange are a great dual purpose apple as they taste great fresh or cooked.
They have a crisp texture with a very distinctive flavour that is balanced between sweet and acidic/tangy.
We are selling then on the Stall in 5kg bags for $5.
Out Of Billingtons
We have finished our Billington plums.
We hope to have Coxes Orange Apples starting in a few days.
We Are Out of Apricots and Nectarines
We have finished our Apricots and Nectarines for the season.
Right now all we have is Bon Chretian Pears and Billington Plums.
We lost a large amount of Black Doris and Omega Plums in the 140kph winds a week and a half ago so we are not sure at this stage if we will have any for sale on the Stall this year.
Stay tuned.
Billington Plums Now Available!
We now have Billington plums available on the Fruit Stall.
Billington are a red-flesh plum that is juicy and has an excellent flavour.
It is suitable for
· Bottling
· Eating
· Jam
· Sauces
They are available in 2kg bags for $5
We still have P.Y.O Apricots and P.Y.O Nectarines available but I’m not sure how long they will last for as it all depends on how many people pick tomorrow.
Realistically I can see tomorrow being the last day for the Nectarines and possibly the Apricots but I think the latter will last maybe a day or two longer.
We Have Pears!
We have just started our Bon Chretian Pears today.
We are selling them in 5kg bags for $5.
Bon Chretians are brilliant for preserving or eating once ripe.
We have a few Nectarines and Apricots left for P.Y.O tomorrow and MAYBE Sunday but it’s right at the end of the P.Y.O Season now.
Had A Busy Weekend
We have had a very busy Waitangi weekend with heaps of P.Y.Oers picking in the lovely summer weather.
We still have some Nectarines available as well as some Stevens Favourite Apricots for P.Y.O but we expect them to all be gone by the end of the week.
We Have P.Y.O Nectarines and P.Y.O Apricots For Waitangi Weekend
This weekend we have heaps of P.Y.O Nectarines and a good amount of P.Y.O Apricots available @ $1.90/kg.
This is our last big P.Y.O weekend for the season so make sure you don’t miss out!
P.Y.O Nectarines Have Started Again
Our second variety of Nectarines is now ready for P.Y.O.
They are sweet and full of flavor making them ideal for stewing/bottling or eating.
Full On Weekend!!!
We had a really successful and busy P.Y.O weekend which was excellent!
We still have a small amount of Moorparks on the trees and even though it is mostly ladder work there is still some good fruit out there waiting to be picked and bottled!
Still Got Moorparks!!!
We had a really successful and busy P.Y.O day today but we still have a good amount of Moorparks on the trees.
It is mostly ladder work but there is still some excellent fruit just waiting to be picked!
We still have Roxburgh Reds for P.Y.O as well and they are reasonably plentiful and full of flavour.
