paynes orchards, bacchus marsh

Did someone say FRESH?! Fruit doesn't get any fresher than this.  Mamma and the fam have a ball picking fresh apples, cherries and stone fruits at this 'pick your own' fruit farm.  It's a fun activity that the whole family can get involved in - well you'll need every available set of hands to carry back your booty! And the taste...WOW...the way fruit was supposed to taste.  

Bookings are required, so check their website. On arrival check in with the friendly staff and head on down to the orchard.

The season starts with cherries in November, then come the stone fruits (apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums) and the season ends at the end of Autumn with the deeelish apples (johnnies, galas, red and golden delicious, granny, fuji and pink lady).
