Finally! The moment has arrived

Tomorrow, Thursday 21st December we open for the Fruit Season

Open….7am – 9pm…..7 days

We are closed on Christmas Day……sorry about that.

We have a plentiful supply of freshly picked Cherries and freshly dug New Spuds to kick the Season off

Apricots will be sometime in early January as will Wilson Early plums and then the troops follow

Txt/ring me on 027 288 6090 anytime for all queries, orders or anything

Mum and I are so looking forward to catching up with everyone

You will like our prices!

We only sell what we grow

Delay to Opening Date..again….

Due to the cooler temperatures over the past few weeks, we once again have to delay the opening of the Fruit Stall

Soo we will now open on

– Thursday 21st December –

with Cherries and New Spuds

Pre-ordered Courier – Cherries – will still be going out on Monday and Tuesday 18th and 19th, as arranged so they reach their North and South Island destinations before the end of the week

Pre-ordered “Pick up Cherry Orders ” & “New Spud Orders” will commence from Thursday 21st so no worries there

When we finally Open we will have plenty of Cherries and New Spuds on the Fruit Stall.

As the weather rules our lives, all we can do is keep working and smile through gritted teeth whilst we wait for the fruit to ripen, albeit slowly this Season so far

All other fruit is slow in ripening as well but we are hoping our Earli Ril and Sundrop apricots will be on the Fruit Stall by 5th January with PYO starting a bit later on…..the other apricot varieties may be a wee bit late but you never know….if we get a burst of heat this could all change

Here is a photo of cherries which are well on their way to ripening and some Sundrop apricots…..most definitely not a tinge of orange as of yet – a bit more Sun and heat and they will soon be on the move!

Txt/ring me anytime on 027 288 6090 for fruit updates, weather report, pre-orders, etc.

Update…..Opening Day Delayed

The Sun is sadly lacking at present so have had to push the Opening Date forward to Monday 18th.. .

Also because the Sun isn’t playing the game, I have to pull the plug on any further pre-Xmas Courier Cherry Orders

The existing Cherry Orders will still go out on the “final Fruit Courier Day” which is the 18th for the North Island and 19th for the South Island

Courier Orders start up again after Xmas and New Year on 3rd January.

Pick up Cherry Orders will still be available as will Cherries and New Spuds on the Fruit Stall from Monday 18th December.

Apologies for the inconvenience and many thanks for your patience

As the weather rules our lives, nothing much surprises us these days

Fingers crossed the Sun comes out to play sooner than later – will keep you updated.

Contact me (Ruby) anytime on 027 288 6090 for fruit queries or placing an order.

Apricot thinning is in full swing!!

Here’s some photos of a couple of apricot trees after they were thinned.

At the moment all fruit varieties are looking great…I can’t predict an opening date yet but it should be about the middle of December

Early spuds will be first up then cherries followed by apricots and the rest.

If you have any fruit queries, flick me a TXT or ring me on 027 288 6090.

Mum and I are looking forward to opening the Fruit Stall for the Season and catching up with everyone.

Will post more photos soon!

The storm the other day thankfully only did a small amount of damage. We did however lose a fair amount of Omega plums and some quinces – our apples all held on so no problems there!

We still have some 2nd grade Omega plums available on the Stall but they will be finished in the next couple of days.

Freshly picked Royal Gala apples are available on the Fruit Stall at the moment. Sam and the crew pick every night so freshness is always guaranteed. ???

Cox’s Orange are still available but will be finishing them by the end of this coming week.

Red Delicious apples start sometime towards the end of next week …….couldn’t actually pin Sam down to an exact day so will keep you posted.

Golden Delicious apples should be in about 10 days….will keep you posted.

Quinces are a good 2-3 weeks away….…will keep you posted. The other apple varieties are yet to ripen so will let you know when I have a rough idea of the picking dates.?

Good news on the ferret front – I have been ‘ferret free’ for the last 9 days so have my fingers crossed it keeps up.

I have had quite a culling over the last couple of months – at one stage I ended up trapping 12 ferrets in one week ?that was certainly a busy time!

I am still sending out 5kg, 10kg and 15kg boxes of apples – my courier days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday – contact me on 027 288 6090 for any enquiries or to place an an order.

Remember our hours are 7am-9pm and we only sell what we grow.??

??Fruit Update ??

Plenty of Omega plums, Royal Gala and Cox’s Orange apples are available on the Fruit Stall. ??

Omega plums will probably finish by the end of this coming week.

Quinces are still a wee bit away – will keep you posted? Golden Delicious and Red Delicious apples will be ready around mid-April – I will keep you updated as to when other apples varieties are available on the Stall.

Plums are available 2nd grade boxes and bags now as they are a wee bit smaller than 1st Grade.

Delicious for eating, slicing off the stone for freezing, bottling, Jam, Chutney and dehydrating ?

Due to Otago Anniversary Day, our next courier days are Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Give me a call on 027 288 6090 for all queries. ?

You will like our prices!

Open every day from 7am-9pm.
