14 January

We still have heaps of PYO ‘Sundrop’ apricots available so now’s the time to stock your freezer and fill your jars (and your tummy) 

On the Stall we have boxed ‘Sundrop’ apricots and have both 1st ($3/kg) and 2nd ($2.50/kg) grade boxes available.

Due to some recent cooler weather our later varieties STILL haven’t ripened as fast as we would have liked!

‘Roxburgh Red’ and ‘Valley Gold’ apricots should be ready for PYO around the 20th of January and ‘Moorpark’ should be ready to roll around the 24th of January.

Nectarines are still about a week away.

Billington plums should be ready around January 19th.

Dates can change so I will keep you posted. 
Remember we are open every day between the hours of 7am – 9pm, 7 days a week until the end of May.

The Fruit Stall will open tomorrow, Friday 9 December, for the Season. 🙂

As the Early Cherries were destroyed by the adverse weather conditions, all that will grace our Stall at the start will be:

Early Spuds (Rocket)….2kg bags for $5-00 
Farm Eggs…….. $5-00 per dozen
Comfrey Plants……..$3-00 each
If you want to pre-order your spuds then send me a PM or txt/call me on 027 210 6457 and I’ll make sure they are freshly dug for you to pick up. 🙂

The Dawson Cherries are still on track and should be ready a few days before Xmas.  🙂

All the rest of the fruit is looking good with the apricots on the stall hopefully by the 6th January with PYO starting approx. 10th January.
Will keep you posted. 😉

Remember we courier all varieties of apricots, plums, pears and apples during the season.
Sorry we don’t courier nectarines or peaches.

All of our produce is grown on our Orchard as we only sell what we grow.
And the chooky eggs are fresh from our faithful thirteen girls. 🙂

During the fruit season if we don’t have the variety of fruit you desire we will point you in the right direction to one of the other Stalls in the Teviot Valley ensuring your visit to Central is a fruitful one.
