NEW AT APTEDS · SUMMER 2026/27
Our first cherry season.
Your first pick.
Something new is growing at Apteds.
For the very first time, we're opening our cherry orchard for pick-your-own experiences. Think sweet cherries, summer days and the simple joy of picking fresh fruit straight from the tree.
It's our very first cherry-picking season, and we're planning three special Saturdays to welcome visitors into the orchard. With a limited first-year harvest, picking availability will depend on how the cherries ripen.

Over a century in the orchard
A family name.
An orchard story.
George Apted came to Australia from England more than a century ago. His son Leslie’s name still appears on our wooden fruit crates - a little piece of family history woven into the working orchard.
Today, the Apted family continues growing apples, pears and quinces at Arthurs Creek and Kinglake West, with a fourth generation involved in the business.
From tending the trees to packing the fruit to welcoming you to the orchard, it’s a story of people as much as produce.
When you buy our fruit or visit the orchard, you become part of its next chapter.
Your weekly fruit run, sorted.
Monday delivery to selected north-eastern Melbourne suburbs.
Delivery’s on us when you spend over $48. Just one 10kg box qualifies - or team up with a friend or neighbour and have your fruit delivered together to one address.
