SORRY TO SAY THE SEASON HAS NOW COMPLETELY FINISHED
---------------------------------------
Sorry that so many people who like to come several times were only able to come once or twice.
Once again it was a very early season but the fruit set (i.e. the proportion of flowers which actually
develop into fruit) was very low across some of the most productive varieties so we started out with
a much smaller crop than usual. Then of course the rain came and did some damage.
Luckily the main variety we had exposed was Lapins, which resisted the rain very well.
---------------------------------------
Best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year and hope to see you all again next season.
Don't forget to check this page during November for updates on how the new season is progressing.
---------------------------------------
See Prices page for current prices.
-------------
Sorry - we only had a small crop this year and the demand was still very high.
-------------
Please only come between 10am and 6pm on stated opening days unless by prior arrangement.
------------------------------------
Don't forget to watch this space or check the phone message for updates on availability of fruit.

We are Adelaide's Pick your own cherry specialists. The entire crop from 4000 trees is devoted to you the PYO customer.
There is a small charge (adults $3, children $2) to enter the orchard (so you feel less guilty about what you munch while you're picking - we know!) and a 'per kilo' price depending on the quality of fruit available. This is normal practice on pick-your-own farms - but wait it gets better.
For every 5kg of fruit picked one of the adult entry fees is refunded. Once they see the fruit most people pick at least that amount so very few of our customers end up paying the entry fee.
It's really just to keep timewasters and freeloaders away but it means that if you want to come mainly for the experience we are also happy with that.
We are always the best for price and quality.
Full details are shown on the Prices page.
Check our Recipes page for authentic and sensible things to do with cherries as well as eating them fresh.
