Disclaimer - all though all types of fruit & veg are grown on the farm not all are available for sale in the shop – depends on the crop that year & if there is excess to our own requirements |
|
| |
|
|
Other things available generally all year at the farm gate sales include home made marmalades, jams, preserved fruits, jellies etc. In addition we are supplied with honey from the bees in the apiary required to pollinate the orchard – although it is mainly comprised of blue gum rather than avocado. |
