Justice for pear blossoms 🍐

Somehow they go completely under the radar but we think they are pretty spectacular!

Enjoy this close up of the pears at their spring best 🌸

Farm life doesn’t always make it easy to step away.

That was the idea behind Fireside at Apteds - bringing local farmers, growers and producers together for a good feed, a few drinks, some music and a chance to catch up.

Thanks to everyone who joined us around the fire.

Special thanks to HC Catering for the beautiful food, and Peter Olsen Songs for the beautiful sounds.

Fireside at Apteds was supported by the Look Over the Farm Gate Community Grant.

Well… THAT was opening day. 🥹🌸

The orchard was full of little explorers, face paint, live music, picnics, apples, games and a whole lot of Spring today.

After weeks of mowing, building, painting, printing, moving crates around and wondering if everyone would come - seeing families out here enjoying it was pretty special.

And we’re only just getting started.

🍐 It’s National Pear Week 🍐

Sweet, juicy, underrated… and proudly grown right here in Arthurs Creek.

From crunchy Packhams to rich, buttery Beurre Bosc, pears are one of the quiet achievers of autumn and winter - perfect for lunchboxes, cheese boards, baking or simply eaten fresh.

You’ll find our pears available:
📍 In our roadside huts
🛒 Online for local delivery
🌿 Eltham Farmers Market

If you haven’t had a really good pear lately, this is your sign to pick up an Apteds pear this week.
