We returned to the Sorell Fruit farm this morning = they have a web site (sorellfruitfarm.com) - and made another foray into the "pick your own fruit" experience
ron_co2002:
There were some big cherries in clusters like I have not seen before- the pattern in the sky is the bird netting above the trees
ron_co2002:
The fruits of our labour in the field - two punnets of cherries -at $6 per punnet
ron_co2002:
Yesterday when we stopped to buy honey the folks told us how to find the Sorell fruit farm- something we had not done in our six months (nearly) here - this is a small portion of our cherry picking
ron_co2002:
A sign displaying the varieties of fruit grown at the Sorell fruit farm - some I have never heard of - look forward to sampling them all in time
ron_co2002:
Some of the fruit trees under bird netting to protect the fruit - although going by what I saw much of it is eaten by the customers while picking their purchase ( talk about getting a good deal)
ron_co2002:
The rows of strawberries - pick your own in season (November to May)
ron_co2002:
Alenka tried their roast vegetable frittata - hope I got that right- I had an icecream and then went out to pick cherries while she finished off her meal- we had not planned on coming here
ron_co2002:
The outside view of the Sorell farm restaurant -you also go here to pick up your punnets / buckets to pick your own fresh fruit
ron_co2002:
There are eating areas inside the restaurant plus outdoors for more pleasant weather - small, simple but very pleasant
ron_co2002:
The Sorell fruit farm provides a calendar for their months of crop availability -something to look forward to - I printed it out large for our door
ron_co2002:
