Sweet, juicy, underratedā€¦ and proudly grown right here in Arthurs Creek.

Behind the scenes today šŸ

A lovely visit from and as they filmed ahead of National Pear Week.

Featured here is Robert Apted - 4th generation grower, orchard director, and one of the familiar faces helping connect our fruit with Melbourneā€™s wholesale markets.

We love to see more locally grown pears making their way to Melbourne families through Box Divvyā€™s growing community.

(And yesā€¦ it turns out orchard netting can protect fruit from drones too šŸ˜…)

Because of you, we raised $2,046 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation šŸ’—

To everyone who visited the orchard, picked apples, supported our local vendors or simply spent part of Motherā€™s Day weekend with us - thank you.

Through our Pink Ladies for Pink Ribbon weekend, together we were able to raise funds for breast cancer research and support a cause close to so many families.

Weā€™re incredibly grateful to this community šŸŽ

This weekend at the orchard šŸŽ

Weā€™ve teamed up with Huntison Micro Bakery to bring something extra special to your visit - small-batch sourdough baking, made with real ingredients (and a little bit of our fruit too).

Think delightful pastries, cookies straight from the oven, and the kind of treats that donā€™t make it home.

And for Motherā€™s Day weekend, you can elevate your visit with our Sourdough Gift Basket add-on - a curated bundle of pancake mix, cookie mix, hot honey and more.

Something beautiful to take homeā€¦or gift to Mum.

Limited quantities available.

Slow down, wander the rows, pick pink lady apples and make a morning of it.

Open this weekend - bookings essential.
