23.01.2022 We use organic kaolin clay to protect our apples from sunburn and pest insects. Sometimes you can see a white powder on the skin. It is traditionally a medicine and helps us to eliminate the need for pesticides. Just rinse or rub it off before you eat :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicinal_clay

05.01.2022 Thanks to everyone that visited this weekend! It was great fun! Should be open Wed-Sun this week. We will confirm this with an update later. But for now, we are closed for a couple of days. We got 35mm of rain since yesterday, and storm damage to some trees and fruit (and nets ). Cherries can split open if they have water sitting on them for too long. So we are busy toweling them off (not really but we are blowing air to bump the water off them).... The sun is poking through now so hopefully we are back to warm and dry :) See more
