It is still too early to determine our opening date however, so be sure to check back regularly for updates and keep an eye on our instagram and facebook pages! We look forward to seeing you in the orchard.]]><![CDATA[CHERRY SEASON CLOSED]]>Wed, 04 Jan 2023 08:11:03 GMThttp://ancaraestate.com.au/season-updates/cherry-season-closedAlthough we thought we would have some later varieties ready to pick this weekend, we have assessed the orchard and there are not enough to open, so we are now closed for this season.

We would like to thank all our supporters for your encouragement and positive feedback, we have had a ball in this, our first season and look forward to seeing you in the 2023 season - fingers crossed it will be before Christmas this time around!

We still have some unripe Stella, Simone, Lapins and Sweethearts on the trees, so will assess the orchard towards the end of next week to see if we can open on the weekend, 7th-8th January 2023. So keep an eye on our facebook and instagram pages, this website and the fresh fruit app for details!

Thank you all for your support in what has been our first cherry season so far! We wish you all a happy new year and look forward to seeing you in 2023!
