APRICOTS
Our apricots are nurtured on a historic site that has been thriving since the late 1800s, delivering the unique Central Otago flavour that comes from our extreme climate. With four delicious varieties available from mid-December to mid-February, you can enjoy the taste of summer in every bite. Plus, depending on the season, we offer processing grade apricots, perfect for crafting jams, chutneys, and delightful desserts.
