Something very exciting is happening at Apteds!
For the very first time, we’re opening our cherry orchard for Pick Your Own Cherries!
We’re inviting you to wander the cherry rows, pick fresh cherries straight from the tree and enjoy a beautiful summer day on the farm.
And yes, those are our very own cherries growing in the orchard right now!
Our first picking dates:
Saturday 28 November
Saturday 5 December
Saturday 12 December
Adult entry: $20
Child entry: $10
Take-home cherries: $18/kg
Your entry includes the orchard experience and enjoying as many cherries as you like while you pick. Take-home cherries are weighed and purchased separately.
Whether it’s a family day out, a summer adventure with friends or simply an excuse to eat cherries straight from the tree, we’d love you to be part of our very first harvest!
Book your picking session via the link - we strongly advise you don’t wait to avoid disappointment!
