25.01.2022 We are open. We have jams, pastes, chutney and dried figs for sale. We also have tomato sauce and relish for sale.
25.01.2022 We have some tasty fresh figs again after the rain a couple of weeks ago. Come out to the orchard and buy a tray or come and pick your own. We also have jams, pastes, chutney and dried figs. We are open 9 to 5 please ring outside those times.
25.01.2022 That should have read Mutch park sorry. I posted that on the Ipad. Sometimes it corrects you when you don't want it to or I hit the wrong key. Who knows! Same place as always.
24.01.2022 Our figs are still hanging on for the moment, so come and get some while you can. They won't last much longer with the cooler weather.
24.01.2022 We have plenty of figs here at the orchard to buy. Not sure if David will get to Sydney today or not. Will post if he is coming to Concord.
23.01.2022 As many of you know, we had a lot of hail damaged fruit in the first crop and so only sold what we had at the orchard. The second crop is looking more promising but the fruit isn't starting to colour yet and so will be a few weeks away before ripening. Sorry to disappoint you all. We will hopefully have a better pick in February/March/April.
22.01.2022 The figs have not yet started to ripen. There seems to be less figs due to the dry conditions. We think it will be 10 days to 2 weeks before the second crop starts and we have any fresh figs again. Visitors are welcome to pick their own. It is great if you let us know beforehand so we can leave some figs for you to pick . Mornings are the best time to come picking.
