Our Orchard was one of the first set up in Central Otago and has been producing fruit for over 100 years. Our oldest trees are over 70 years in age and still producing a high yield of top quality fruit.

​

In 1995 the orchard was taken on by the Roche Family. At this time it was run down after years as a rental. In the years that followed they planted and grafted numerous fruit trees and started a small fruit stand. This developed into a thriving orchard and in 2015 a fruit stall with pack shed was built. 

 

In late 2020 my husband and I purchased the orchard and moved in with our two boys. We plan to continue the orcharding tradition here and in time add to its legacy.

This means continuing with the same great quality service and producing great tasting, top quality fruit, for every-day New Zealanders. Along with providing pick your own opportunities and the ability to buy fruit for nationwide delivery.

We are continuing to bring our fruit to Gore every Saturday morning; starting late December through to April, and set up on the corner of Ardwick and Devon Streets (on the St Andrews Presbyterian Church ground).

For those of you that love homemade preserves, I make range of jams, chutneys, pickles, syrups and sauces which are great for Ploughmans spreads, cheese platters or gift pack can be created. These are available in our fruit stall, our Gore market and you will also find me selling them at the Cromwell Farmers and Craft Market on Sunday mornings.

So please stop in and say "Hi", we look forward to meeting you.
