Blue Hills Notice Board
UPDATED 06/09/24
Cherry blossom is very early this year. So our Blossom Show will begin on the 14th September instead of the 21st September as planned – hope you can make it!
Early blossom means early cherries, as every flower is a potential cherry.
We are all set to open for cherry picking by the 17th November, but will quite possibly be earlier this year.
We now have a new online booking system, which means that you can now manage your own booking. You can cancel or change the date right up to 24 hours before ( how good is that ). Online bookings helps us to monitor visitor numbers, providing a better experience for you.
During season times you can ‘Pick Your Own’ cherries or buy fresh picked berries & cherries from the farm gate.
Local Yarra Valley products are also for sale in the gift shop at 27 Parker Rd – biscuits, jams, relishes, pure honey & more. We now even have our own cherry fragrances & candles!
The fruit available for U-Pick this season will be mainly cherries ( 17th November – early January) – subject to fruit availability. We may have cherries earlier this season!
Berry U-Pick will be limited this 2023-2024 season. We will be open on select days ( Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays) for raspberry, strawberry, boysenberry & blueberry U-Pick. For various reasons we are not growing as many berries these days and are instead pouring most of our energy into the cherries. Please check the FRUIT REPORT– before visiting to see what’s in season & if berry picking is available. No online tickets for berry picking!
Our fairy themed ‘CHERRY BLOSSOM SHOW’ will now be an annual event held during the September school holidays at our George Rd orchard. This year it will be open 14th & 15th September & 21st – 29th September 2024. We recieved some lovely feedback last year!
