21.01.2022 Hi folks, due to extreme heat, dry winter and hard growing conditions, we haven't had the supply of cherries we normally do that we would open our shed door for sales. All cherries are picked and we are doing the best we can to fulfil current orders. We can't take any further orders and unfortunately we won't be open for 'pick your own' this year. We hope to have your support next season and we'll see you then ... From all the team at Martin Hill Cherries

10.01.2022 We know you are eagerly awaiting our opening times, but with the heat forecast for the next couple of days, including a catastrophic warning on Friday, we will remain closed. We hope to open over the weekend. Please watch this space for the latest details, and again, we thank you for your patience. When we do open, please remember to bring an esky or similar to take your cherries home in. To maintain the freshness, and longevity of cherries, they need to stay cold. If they get too hot, they will deteriorate very quickly, and we don't want that!!
