crunchy apples

and other yummy fruit grow just round the corner. And to think that I didn't discover this orchard shop until today, despite the signs being there for 25 years. Even better a lot of the fruit is taken off the grading line before it is waxed and polished. The Couper orchard, pioneers in reducing insect spraying is a long 3km down Bryson's Road, you can't miss the empty dam on the left (only empty for cleaning, there are other dams 1/2 full). The shop is open on Friday and Saturday Sept to April from 9 to 6. Lots of old orchard equipment and a tractor to climb on too. Mrs Couper is a delight, she sells her jams and jellies (although the quince is almost all gone) and is a mine of information. I can recommend the $3 Kg Sundowner apples and the freshly picked cherries.
