Moorparks Begin Tomorrow
Today we have P.Y.O Nectarines available for $1.90/kg.
We have a wide selection of Apricot 2nds boxed on the stall.
4kg boxes – $10
6kg boxes – $15
Tommorow we will begin P.Y.O Moorparks and expect them to last until about Tuesday.
Due to a lack of sunshine we are now expecting to have Peaches on approx. Monday.
We need sun!!!!!!
Moorparks: Coming Soon!!!
P.Y.O Moorparks are due to commence this Saturday.
We may have some of our first variety Nectarines left by then but this can’t be confirmed.
Due to a lack of sunshine we are now expecting to have Peaches on approx. Monday.
The next Nectarine variety are due in about 1 1/2 weeks.
It has been impossible to coincide Apricots, Peaches and Nectarines this year due to the crazy weather!!!
Wind is Such a Joy!
We had quite a lot of wind last night.
A bit of fruit has bitten the dust but there is still plenty hanging on.
I’m about to go out to check the full extent of the damage so if something serious has happened like the entire Orchard being blown away then I’ll let you know!!!
Another Day in Paradise
Another day in paradise!
The weather forecast says it is meant to rain later on today.
The temperature is meant to be about 24c though and at the moment it looks like it’s going to be a lovely, fine day.
If you are coming up to pick Nectarines and want to know what the weather is doing then just give us a call on 03 446 8585 and we’ll give you a live weather update.
We Won’t Have Anymore P.Y.O Apricots Until Saturday (Weather Permitting!!)
We have run out of P.Y.O Apricots!
The last of our P.Y.O Valley Gold got picked today so at the moment we have no P.Y.O Apricots available until the Moorparks start (weather permitting) this weekend.
By weather permitting I mean if we get a good amount of sunshine to ripen the fruit.
Everyone cross your fingers!!!
Roxburgh Red Are Finished
We have now finished our P.Y.O Roxburgh Red for the year so at the moment we only have Valley Gold (cooking only Apricot) available in the the P.Y.O Apricot Department.
We have heaps of P.Y.O Nectarines available though so that is a bonus!!
We are currently waiting for our Moorparks to ripen so things will be a bit scarce this week Apricot wise.
Lets just hope for some sun and heat to kick em into gear!
P.Y.O Nectarines Are Now Ready!
We now have a good amount of P.Y.O Nectarines available for $1.90/kg.
P.Y.O Roxburgh Red and Valley Gold will finished today so if you still haven’t got your fix, it’s best you gun it up to Roxburgh ASAP;)
In other news, the wind picked up last night and dumped a bit of fruit on the ground but it could have been worse, we could have got a plague of boils as well!!!
Important Fruit Update
Roxburgh Red and Valley Gold finish this weekend.
2 groups picked 900 kg of Apricots last night and this has made a huge dent in the Roxburgh Reds.
They also picked 700kg of Nectarines meaning that there are now only firm ones left on the trees for P.Y.O.
We hope to have Moorparks hopefuly next weekend, may be later.
Either check this site or give us a call for the latest update.
Haven Peaches will hopefully begin next weekend as well
The next Nectarine variety are due in about 2 weeks.
P.Y.O Peeka will not be available this year because of a some unfavourable weather conditions.
We will be focusing on supplying our pre-orders first and foremost but there will be some Peeka first and seconds boxes put onto the Stall
Owing to a large Apricot shortage in the Teviot Valley this year and the fact that we have kept our prices the same, we have had been inundated with heaps of customers hence the reason things are running a bit short this year.
There is no rhyme or reason to the season!
P.Y.O Nectarines Begin On Saturday
Just a quick note to let you guys know that we will be starting our P.Y.O Nectarines tomorrow (Saturday 15 January).
The price is same as last year at $1.90/kg.
We will also have P.Y.O Roxburgh Red Apricots and they are $1.90/kg as well.
The weather forecast says tomorrow is meant to be fine with warm northwest winds and a high of 23c.
Perfect P.Y.O weather!!!!!!
P.Y.O Will Be Starting Again on Saturday
P.Y.O Roxburgh Red Apricots and the first variety of P.Y.O Nectarines will be ready this Saturday.
On the stall you will find boxed Roxburgh Red, Peeka, and Valley Gold Apricots in $15(6kg) or $20(8kg) boxes.
A warning about Valley Gold: They are a cooking Apricot only as they taste like cardboard if eaten raw.
Cooking release their flavour which means they are wonderful for freezing, stewing and bottling.
