Fruit Update

We have had a hectic day with PYO Roxburgh Red and have been unexpectedly inundated with PYOers since the early hours of this morning.

Tomorrow will be the last day of PYO Roxburgh Red and with rain forecast around noon if you want to get some then come as early as possible.
After tomorrow we won’t have any PYO available until the following weekend (January 19-20) when we will have PYO Steven’s Favourite and Moorpark.

This season has been all over the place and a combination of a light apricot crop around the district and an early season has made for a challenging time to say the least.

We will still have a plentiful variety of apricots available on the Stall this week and Shiro plums will be on the Stall from later on this week.
Billington plums are about 5 days away and PYO nectarines are STILL about 9 days away.

Will keep you posted 🙂

Any queries then flick us a message or call/txt Ruby on 027 288 6090

Fruit Update:

We have finished our cherries for the season but there are still plenty of cherries available at other orchards throughout the Valley.

We have plenty of Sundrop apricots available on the Stall in 6kg boxes for $20 and PYO Sundrop are still on track to start this Saturday (January 5).
We also have Early Wilson plums on the Stall in 1.5kg bags for $5.
Nectarines and other apricot varieties are still a couple of weeks away ?

New spuds have finished for the season.

The birds have decided to target the plums and apricots now so Big Bertha is being relocated to help repel them while Captain Jack is still holding his ground in the nectarine block. ?

Just a reminder guys that we have not started PYO Sundrop yet.
At this stage they are just starting to come on stream so there is enough ripe stuff for me to pick for the Stall but not enough to open up for PYO.
We plan to open the Sundrop up for PYO on January 9th with other varieties coming
In the meantime we have plenty of Sundrop available on the Stall in 6kg boxes for $20
And remember we are open 7 days a week from 7am until 9pm ?
