22.01.2022 Spring is here and that means one thing. Buds are bursting out for another exciting season.

22.01.2022 Max Rawlinson connects our fruit to your shop shelves. Max is the Sales Manager, and liaises with fruit buyers around Australia and export markets to find the best home for our fruit. An Ag Science Graduate and long-term member of the N&A Group, Max is well qualified to talk to you about your fruit needs!

19.01.2022 Our orchard team trialling the Revo Puma harvester (in Feb) on the new Rico pear at the DPI planting systems demonstration site in the Goulburn Valley. Hoping to improve fruit quality with reduced stem punctures. This is an exciting new variety so keep an eye out for it in a store near you. #rico #ricopear #futurefarming #happypickers #platformharvesting #pearharvesting #revo #revopuma #qualitypears #orchardmechanization #farmmechanization #farmequipmentimports #FEI

18.01.2022 Nature plays a very important role on our farm at this time of year. Pollination is a very important part of growing the perfect piece of fruit. With over 50 million flowers needing pollinating over a short period of time we rely on Bees to help us get the job done. #lovenature #applefarming

17.01.2022 Happy Birthday Andrew Plunkett!

15.01.2022 The team at Plunkett Orchards are busy as the trees burst out into flower. Flower thinning is an important process to secure better fruit size and quality. It's the time you set up both this years and next year crop. It's the most critical time of year and we only have 7 days to cover over 100ha of apple blossom. It wouldn't be possible with out our 2 Darwin Flower thinning machines. No such thing as weekends during flowering. #futurefarming #fruittec #mechanicalthinning #flowerthinning #qualityapples #orchardmechanization #farmmechanization #farmequipmentimports #darwinthinner

15.01.2022 Last delivery of this season new Apple tree have arrived from Balhannah Nurseries. #futurefarming #newappleblock #farmproject #pinklady #balhannahnursery

13.01.2022 From tree to fruit bowl, we avoid bruising at every step so your apples arrive in pristine condition. The Submersion Filler Vacu-HS is one the components of the Geosort Presizer which has not only made packing quicker, it eliminates bruising. With the help of sensors and vacuum pumps, the fruits are gently sucked into the bins without causing any damage. It can fill a bin with 350kg of apples in less than 2 mins without a single scratch!

08.01.2022 Stay updated Shepparton.
