16.01.2022 Today is our first day of our temporary closure. Dont forget that we still supply local shops and greengrocer so if you missed out on our shed sales yesterday, head over to one of these shops to get your apples (and other local produce).

15.01.2022 As we start to ease restrictions, please continue supporting our local businesses. Its been a very hard start to the year for most businesses. Weve been very lucky that this hasnt impacted our farm too much. If anything it has boosted our wholesale trade as we had to restrict our access to the public. But it is all that there is, luck was on our side and unfortunately a lot of businesses didnt fare as well, regardless of how well established they are. Our region has some... of the most amazing and freshest produce, combined with the amazing talent of the local food industry, and we are spoilt for choice. So please dont forget to visit our local cafes and restaurants, shop from our local stalls and help our region get back on its feet. We also want to take this opportunity to thank our lovely customers who continued to support us despite our month-long closure. A lot of you have changed your shopping habits by patronising our delivery service or getting your apple fix from our stockists. Some of you even did the extra mile and connected us to other businesses and gain us new stockists! Seeing a lot of familiar and happy faces these days as we are back to our retail sales make us so happy and proud to be back. Were all in this together. Keep safe everyone

12.01.2022 To our lovely customers, just a few precautions that we would love for you to follow if visiting our shed. 1) Ensure that there is only one person at a time in the shop area (unless youre together i.e. family) 2) Please refrain from touching the produce unless youre buying them. ... 3) Use the hand sanitiser provided as much as possible We are trying very hard to keep our hands clean when picking and packing and all of that is lost if someone comes in and starts touching the apples on the boxes and end up not buying them. It takes all of us to ensure that proper hygiene is followed and we dont endanger other people. We are happy to say that 95% of our customers are following our precautionary measures. Thank you everyone for your support.

02.01.2022 To our lovely customers, it is with a heavy heart that our family has decided that we will close our farm shed for retail sales/general public (wholesale customers are not affected). Tomorrow (Monday March 30) will be our last day trading from our farm shed for the meantime. This is not an easy decision to make. As a primarily cash-based business, we have decided it safest to close our farm shed until this virus is contained and focus all our efforts on completing the harves...t. We cant risk our familys, workers and customers health at this point. We will have card services available for purchases tomorrow, or alternatively you can pay via our store in the MyHonestyBox app (big thanks to everyone who has used the app so far). Our apples will continue to be available at local fruit shops, many of whom are now offering no-contact collection or home delivery. Businesses with asterisk on their names will have our 2kg apple bags for sale.
