What’s Ripening at the Orchard

No two visits are the same here!

Different apples and pears come into season one after another - which means the flavour, colour and picking experience keeps evolving right through autumn.

If you enjoyed an early season visit, you haven’t experienced the whole orchard yet!

Right now (this week)

Snapdragon apples – sweet, crisp, perfect for kids
Ruby Frost apples – extra crunchy and juicy
Golden Delicious apples – juicy, sweet and rare!
Granny Smith Apples – tart and refreshing 

What today’s visit feels like

Crisp autumn air, green grass and abundance.

Great for families and first-time pickers. Easy picking and gentle flavours.

Coming very soon

In the next 1–3 weeks the orchard transforms:

• Crunchier apples

• Larger fruit

• Stronger flavours

• More Autumn colour through the trees

Many locals visit twice because the experience feels completely different.

Later in the season (don’t miss this)

This is when the orchard becomes a classic autumn orchard:

• Big crunchy lunchbox apples 

• Proper baking apples
  

• Peak harvest atmosphere

If you like cooking, juicing, preserving or apple pies - this is the time to come back.
