Sweet, juicy, delicious, premium cherries straight from the tree!
This family farm is open during cherry season (December) for visitors to enjoy the orchard and pick delicious cherries.
The timing of cherry season will depend on weather conditions which influence fruit ripening.
The 2025 season is expected to open around 5 December, with more fruit starting to ripen a week later.
For a great fun morning out with family or friends visit the orchard to pick your own cherries, or buy them ready picked from the farm gate. The flavour direct from this Mudgee orchard is amazing. Cherries are very seasonal and their ripening times can vary depending on the weather and the cherry variety.
Trees are pruned short to make picking easy and fun for children and adults.
Cherries are best picked early morning as they stay fresh longer when picked while still cool - and it's more fun for the pickers too!
Bring an esky, bags/boxes and ice to keep your cherries cold on the way home.
For safety, good walking shoes are advisable when visiting the farm.
Bookings are recommended and maybe essential at peak times on weekends.
The orchard opens mornings only, usually Thursday - Tuesday but it depends on cherries. Check dates on the booking system before you come.
