Apples

We produce export quality apples. These include Royal Gala, Sonya, Braeburn and Fuji.

Royal Gala - So named as they were a favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. This well known variety is crisp and sweet. Available from late February to July.

Sonya - This new variety is a cross between Royal Gala and Red Delicious. Definitely the favourite with travellers who stop at our road side stall.
