Calling all locals of the Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes District! 🍒
Join us for a fun-filled evening of cherry picking at our beautiful locally owned and operated orchard! This is a special Pick Your Own Cherries event just for you, our local community, to enjoy the sweetest cherries of the season, straight from the tree WITHOUT the massive price tag!
Whether you're a seasoned cherry picker or it's your first time, it’s a great way to get outside, connect with your neighbours, and take home fresh, delicious fruit that’s grown right here in our backyard.
🌿 Event Highlights:
Pick your own cherries: Stella and Sweetheart varieties, 800 trees to pick from!
Family-friendly fun: Bring the kids, and pooches also welcome but must be on lead and okay around kids, cats, other dogs and farm animals!
Petting zoo: Meet friendly Dobby and George the resident goats, Hermione the 13 month old fellow deer, Ted the enthusiastic dog and several more gorgeous farm animals!
Views down the back: Our property backs on to the Kawarau River, so make sure you go down and check out the view!
