Peach season is here!

They’re back – peach season is finally here! John and Frieda from Southview Orchard will be back for their annual pop up at the market this week. They are a bit late this season due to the constant rain and not enough sunny days earlier in the year but they are back and ready to go! Southview Orchard is a small peach orchard up at Hogarth Range, which is just 30km west of Casino, up on a plateau. John and Frieda tell us that their farm is a dream come true for them – John grew up on a farm and bought John their peach orchard after living in Indonesia for more than 20 years and Frieda, being a city girl but having a love of nature, was easily settled into farm life with John. In sesaon over at Southview Orchard are “non-melting” yellow peaches, and white nectarines. Nonmelting means you eat the peaches crunchy like an apple – yum! Welcome back to John and Frieda – we cannot wait to see you!
