25.01.2022 Not on our farm!

25.01.2022 An abundance of figs this year, so these little babies/rejects destined to be poached in ginger syrup. Yum!

23.01.2022 Fresh Apricots! We love our local produce here at the friendliest market in Tasmania Penna Valley Farm made their debut appearance at the market yesterday, and we are delighted to be welcoming them back in the New Year on SATURDAY January 4! See you at the Market!

23.01.2022 My absolute fav apricot jam recipe. Passed down the generations of good cooks in my family! Very easy, no time wasted, Apricot Jam 2 kg apricots, stones removed, then chopped 2 kg of sugar... Combine chopped apricots and HALF the sugar in a well buttered saucepan, and leave for 2 hours or overnight to create its own juice. Next morning, boil the ingredients for 20 mins till fruit is soft. Add remaining sugar and boil hard for 10 mins. Do a test by putting a teaspoon full on a saucer, leave to cool for 3 mins, then see if a skin is forming it will be ready if there is a skin. Leave to stand for 10 mins. Bottle and seal, or cool a little more, put in plastic containers & keep in freezer. See more

22.01.2022 Jam Jam JAM!! Some brilliant specials on our jam fruit this weekend! We have some beautiful fruit ready for cooking :) Think how amazing it will be to open a jar of your own home made golden summer apricot jam in the middle of this winter!... #jarsofsunshine See us at our markets - Harvest Launceston, Salamanca Market Farm Gate Market, Banjo's New Norfolk Market, and @SorellCommunityMarket. Amazing specials this weekend! #apricots #summer #yumyumorganic!

18.01.2022 #afterthedishesaredone Taste test time for the Penna Valley Farm apricots. I'm not sure, I might need another jar to fully appreciate the flavor! When it comes to #apricotjam it usually is smart to get two jars and stash one in the pantry to discover mid-winter.

18.01.2022 Looking forward to bringing our yummy apricots. AND some of Tassie favourites...Moor Park. Not as pretty as their Canadian cousins but oh so fragrant and sweet!

17.01.2022 Golden balls of goodness being sorted and graded to go to Farm Gate Market tomorrow. And some delicious seconds for jam, or bottling, or freezing, or chutney, or the best breakfast stewed apricots! See you at the market!

17.01.2022 Some of our crates now resting in the pack shed waiting to be filled with the next golden harvest from these golden trees. #loveautumn #apricotsdec2020

16.01.2022 Loving this rain! We have just finished sowing our paddocks to barley and peas, so they are getting a big drink to boost growth. Frogmore Creek, on our boundary, is once again flowing.Water was over our road earlier. Over 2 years since it had any water in it. Its usually bone dry. Even the ducks are smiling, I'm sure !

15.01.2022 And the Chilli Chutney Recipe we just can't resist. Goes with chicken, cheese, pork, beef, lamb, salad, curries... Or just eat it off the spoon like Himself does!!! Apricot Chilli Chutney... 2kg chopped pitted apricots 2 cups packed light brown sugar 2 cups chopped red onion 1 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1 cup golden raisins 8 tablespoons honey 2 teaspoons dried chilli flakes (More or less depending on taste.) 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons mustard seeds 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Bottle in hot sterilized bottles & seal immediately. Serve warm or at room temperature.

14.01.2022 Oh Gosh! Look! It's JAM O'CLOCK! If you love our apricots all year round, this weekend is just for you!! See us at our markets - Harvest Market, Farm Gate Market. Salamanca, Banjos New Norfolk Market, and Sorell market. Amazing specials this weekend! #apricots #summer #yumyumorganic!

11.01.2022 So who has been naughty and who has been nice? Either way we don't mind!! This Sunday, just in time for our Christmas market ... apricots are comin' to town, al...ong with cherries, berries + S.A.N.T.A. (And guess what? This year, like all our fresh produce they'll be found in compostable packaging only.) Penna Valley Farm organically grown apricots are a very welcome, seasonal addition to our whopper of a Christmas market this week as we burst out of our seams with every stocking filler and piece of festive produce possible. This is officially our biggest market EVER! Can't wait to see you there.

10.01.2022 To our local friends and followers.. we're now looking for expressions of interest from 5 fit healthy people for casual apricot picking work in late December and early to mid January. do you know of any students who would normally be getting hospitality work, and missing out? Or fit, healthy types who enjoy a new challenge? Feel free to pass this on to anyone who will be in the south of Tasmania you think might be interested. They can PM us with an email address so we can send an information sheet and application form.

10.01.2022 Looking forward to being at the new Sorell Community Market on Sunday 3 January! Beautiful Organic Apricots from our orchards. AND bringing lots of delish seconds for jam, stewed fruit and chutneys. See you there! https://www.facebook.com/Sorell-Community-Market-107841667871438

10.01.2022 Missed out this summer for your fresh organic APRICOTS for jams, chutney, fruit leathers and desserts? We have packs of deep frozen de-stoned apricots available. 10kg boxes (4 2.5kg bags) for $60. Pick up from Hobart CBD Monday afternoon or from the orchard by appointment

05.01.2022 Golden balls of goodness being sorted and graded coming your way at Harvest Launceston. #yummyinmytummy

05.01.2022 Popcorn time in the orchard! Each blossom promises an apricot in a few months. Just add water, sunshine and love.

02.01.2022 Our gorgeous grandchild #6 Miss Mary Jane, just HAD to don the gloves and roll some apricots on to the grader. Looking very pleased with herself, don't you think? See you at Banjo's New Norfolk Market on Saturday 23 Jan. Lots of first grade yummy apricots and seconds for jams and chutney.

01.01.2022 These sweet golden balls of goodness are going to Farmgate Market Hobart tomorrow. Their neighbours are still in camouflage mode, and will need a little time to burst into bright colour!
