PYO Update

Just a reminder to those who want to PYO please bring your own containers

For those wanting a large amount for bottling or freezing, laundry baskets – supermarket bags – crates – buckets – cardboard boxes, etc are ideal.

And for those wanting just a few apricots, a supermarket bag is ideal.

Picking is ladder work.

For safety reasons obviously children are not allowed on the ladders. Children are always happy to watch as long as you give them plenty of apricots to eat…a wonderful bribe to keep the peace…

Sundrops are still plentiful, and Roxburgh Red only started yesterday so they are plentiful as well.

Clutha Gold and Peeka will be on the Stall next week…will keep you posted.

Steven’s Favourite will be on the Fruit Stall by end of next week

Moorpark apricots are in about 8-10 days and will be PYO…will keep you posted.

If you don’t preserve apricots by way of bottling all is not lost as freezing is so easy.

Just halve and put in a freezer bag and then straight into the freezer.

Cook from frozen and they taste like they are just off the tree.

PYO Nectarines start this Saturday They are very popular, and it will be all over within a few short days. Then the next variety starts roughly in approx. 2 weeks.

We do not sell PYO nectarines to Fruit Hawkers – they are for families who are bottling, freezing and eating only.

There will not be any on the Fruit Stall.

Plums will be ripe within days and will be on the Stall in a few days time.

Thank goodness the Sun finally found us!

Open 7 days

7am – 9pm
