We will not open tomorrow, Saturday 31st December as we've sold out of ripe cherries.
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!

We will be open 8am to 4pm daily until sold out (note, we may close early in hot weather, but opening times will be updated each evening before on the Fresh Fruit app and on our fb and insta pages). Please note that due to the small and sparse crop this year, we suggest you get in early to avoid disappointment and you will have to work a bit harder to fill your buckets. 🍒 no entry fee 🍒 cherries $14/kg 🍒 no bookings required 🍒 buckets provided 🍒 cash & EFTPOS accepted 🍒 toilets on site 🍒 on site parking 🍒 no picnics 🍒 no pets 🍒 byo sunscreen, hat, water 🍒 do not bring any fruit or veg onto our property, to help keep the Adelaide Hills fruit fly free We look forward to seeing you in the orchard! 🍒 Our cherries are still ripening believe it or not! But the expected warmer weather to come will certainly help bring them along, so we still expect to be opening after Christmas and are checking the orchard each day to determine when we will be ready to go. We will keep you posted!
.What a cold summer we are having so far! This cold weather is slowing down ripening of the cherries, such that our orchard is still not ready to be picked. We are hoping to open between Christmas and New Year's at this stage 🤞.
So our apologies to all of you who were hoping to have cherries on your Christmas table - but the warm weather predicted for the following week will surely help with ripening. So while we wait for these cherries to ripen, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope to see you in the next one to two weeks. Our cherries are still doing their best to ripen up, so unfortunately we are not yet ready to open. It is looking like it will be next weekend before they will be ready to pick, due to the cooler weather we've had here in the Hills during the week. But you know what that means, don't you? Fresh cherries on the Christmas table!!
Keep checking back here and on our socials for updates, and thanks for all your enquiries. Our cherries are coming along! We will start our season mid-December, which is when we expect our cherries to be fully ripened. We are keeping a close eye on the orchard between now and then, and will be able to have more certainty around opening dates in the next week or so.
Keep an eye on our facebook and insta pages, and this blog to stay in the loop! |
