☹️🍒Hi everyone, after the spell of bad weather and then a major invasion of fruit bats, that have caused extensive damage to the cherries, we have decided at this stage we will not be opening.
We understand that you will all be disappointed, we just don’t have the volume to justify opening unfortunately.
Thank you for understanding and all the enquires.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas. 🎄🎅🤶

Hello to all our loyal customers.
Well, the weather has done it again in its true annual fashion!
We just want to update you as to the current situation.
With the severe rain of late and now we are getting more heavy rain, we are unable to predict when we will be opening.
I can tell you that we have lost the 1st 2 varieties at this stage, fingers crossed the rain stop very soon so we can get some of our freshly picked on the stand for you.
Thanks for your understanding.

After attempting at pick a couple of days ago, the condition of our fruit is diabolical!!!!!
After trying to do what he could to save them, Neil has decided the damage is to severe.
We would like to wish all of our devoted and new customers and very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy 2024.
Hopefully next season will be better than the last 2!

Unfortunately we have bad news, we have had to close our sales shed until further notice, due to the extreme rain fall just over a week ago. Our cherries were looking amazing and the rain has split them to an unsalable standard. Aplogies.
