============================ ALL SOLD OUT NOW FOR THE YEAR ============================ We are Adelaide's leading and oldest established pick your own (PYO) cherries specialist. Our entire crop from over 4000 trees and many varieties is dedicated solely to PYO. We seem to have become an Adelaide icon. For many families Christmas isn't complete without a visit to Forest Range Cherries to pick ripe cherries fresh from the tree and experience the old-fashioned farm atmosphere. Because lots of young children come in family groups we have installed the "Christmas Cherry Train" (see pic and video in right margin below). Next year we hope to improve it. What do the kids think we should add? Check below for opening days and times. Cherry picking usually begins around December and from the start of the season we are open 10am - 6pm every day with the exception of Christmas Day, unless we run out of ripe cherries. To find out about days and times when we are open for cherry picking and other news see our noticeboard below. |

 THIS SPACE IS UPDATED REGULARLY STOP PRESS for TUESDAY 21 December 2011 at 12:15pm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =================================================== SORRY - SOLD OUT NOW =================================================== THANKS FOR YOUR CUSTOM - SORRY WE DIDN'T HAVE MORE CHERRIES FOR YOU THIS YEAR - AND WE'LL HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON DO HAVE A SAFE, ENJOYABLE AND PROSPEROUS 2012 ========================================================== Our road now has a lot of signage from other operators. As responsible operators, we only place signage at the street corner and outside our own place and we remove the remote ones when we are not open. To avoid confusion for new customers, here's what our frontage looks like. It's on the right hand side 760 metres up the road.
And you drive down the gumtree lined driveway shown here
to our car park and sheds. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: We are not connected with Stella Creek - their orchard is further up the road. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On the last Sunday before Christmas our good friends Rick and Maurie (known to music lovers as Sounds Continental) were playing piano-accordian with acoustic guitar accompaniment. Greatly appreciated by all who passed by. And of course the Christmas Cherry Train was running in the shed. The kiddies loved it. Not only that but a backbacker from the North Pole was helping out in the orchard in exchange for our agisting his reindeer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hours are 10:00am - 6:00pm but you need to come before 5:00pm to allow time to do it. Unless you can pick as fast as this guy that is. NB the sour cherries which we sell are not under-ripe sweet cherries - they are small and always sour and intended for cooking etc. See our recipes page. For most people it takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour to fill a 5kg bucket with sour cherries. These machines do it a bit quicker. ==================================================================================== The sour cherries were ready well before Christmas Day this year. Sour cherry sauce makes a great accompaniment to pork or duck. Don't forget also that the best dessert at this time of year is Cherry Clafoutis. It's easy to make and if you do it the French way you don't even need to pit the cherries. See our Recipes page (click here) for these and other great cherry recipes. It always pays to check this page or the phone message on 08 8389 8500 to be sure before driving up. You can follow updates to these messages on Twitter @frcherries.
