- Paikka: THIRLMERE, NSW
- Tuotekoodi: PYO Persimmon Weekend
Book yourself in for a fantastic session of picking sweet juicy Persimmons! Maximum Group booking will be 20 people (including children).
PLEASE NOTE, WE ARE NO LONGER SUPPLYING FREE PLASTIC BAGS. You can purchase a reusable bag online when you make your booking, or on the day. Otherwise, please BRING YOUR OWN reusable bags to pick into, if preferred.
This experience includes a tractor ride between the blocks of fruit and the shed. A detailed explanation of how to pick the best fruit possible is given to everyone to make sure you leave the orchard a happy customer, and also the rules you need to follow whilst in the orchard will be explained. You can pick as much fruit as you want to buy on the day, but remember, please do not pick more than your requirements. Leave fruit on the trees for others.
The fruit you pick on the day is priced per kilogram, and may vary in price through the season depending on fair market price, and size/quality available. Please be aware of this as you pick, as we cannot put fruit back on the tree. Once you have finished picking you will return to the shed on the tractor and pay for your produce.
We also have other items for sale in our shed such as our incredible Apple Juice & Apple Cider, made right here on the farm, & fresh apples, pure honey from a local bee-keeper & local jams & pickles.
Depending on the specific date being booked we will either have Jiro (mostly April) or Fuyu (mostly May) persimmon to pick. Both are the sweet crunchy variety. Please check our facebook/website for availability of varieties which will be ready soon.
Child Age is 3 to 15 years (inclusive). Please ensure all children are booked in.
Infant is under 3 years old. (Small folding strollers can be taken down into the orchard on the tractor). Ensure infants are booked in please.
Cancelled bookings will forfeit their deposit, unless 48 hours notice is given.
Weekend bookings have no minimum booking numbers, and each session advertised WILL BE running regardless of numbers & weather. Cancelled bookings will forfeit their deposit, unless at least 48 hours notice is given. All cancellations will forfeit their $1.50 booking fee, at a minimum.
Only those with a booking will be allowed entry for the numbers that are booked. This is to ensure the safety & comfort of all that visit the farm and to follow the guidelines given to us.
Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes prior to your booking time. When we are sold out, & you arrive more than 30 minutes before your booking, you will most likely have to wait until your booked time - or if you are late for your sessions, you may also need to wait. If you arrive after our last session time, you may not be allowed admission at all. Once we close the orchard, no latecomers will be permitted.
