Fresh Air and Fresh Fruit

Fresh Air and Fresh Fruit

Apple and other fruit picking at Tanbella is a great activity for the family. The orchard is large enough to give your family rows and rows of fruit trees to check out and pick fruit out, but not to spend all day wandering around overwhelmed by the largeness of a place. We arrived and each chose a bucket to put the apples and pears in. There were apples low to the ground so kids of all ages can really pick fruit and place it in to the bucket.

The fruit was $3 per kg and we just had to be careful not to overpick, though we are happy to snack on apples and homemade apple pastries.

Overall, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to calmly wander around the orchard and take photos. The owners are friendly and happy to offer information about the local markets and differences in the apples. If you are looking for an accountant, one of the owners, Christine Reid, is also an accountant.

This is a highly enjoyable outing with real fruits of your labour to show for your time out.
