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! With the very wet start to spring we've been having, it's looking like our cherry season will be starting around mid-December and possibly lasting into Christmas/late December (although that all depends on how fast you pick 'em)! We'll keep you posted with updates here, and on our facebook and instagram pages as we get closer to opening.
