The Bettenay family have been growing fruit in this valley since 1901. Now we bring cherries to you.

After a long winter, it is Springtime.
Happy Spring To You All.
Here is the report from Irymple Valley.
The valley looks amazing-- from the neatly pruned grapevines, to the everlastings to Fiona’s irises - yes Spring has sprung. And the first of the cherry blossoms are out.
The Supremes, a few Rainier and the Empress have started. It is early days to say how much blossom or if any will set, but all of our fingers (and some toes) are crossed.
Our winter was MUCH drier than last year – but there was a fair bit of cold and some super frosts so this all seems AOK.
So …, we expect the different varieties to start flowering over September and into October and, if the bees fly in and start doing their thing, well we just could have some cherries for you.
Look for a post around mid-October. By then we should know if the cherries have set and what type of season it will be.
And no buying those imported cherries over the winter months.

Well last weekend was a pretty monumental day for our valley. We harvested our first grape crop. Carefully cultivated by Mark – these are his special little babies.
So, in only their second year of life, we got 82 crates of grapes which have all been sent off to crush. The vines are still young – so it was slide on your bottom or picking on your knees. This was a bit tricky with our old bodies. But Fiona and I had tons to chat about (so what is different you say!!!)
We started at daybreak – because it was scheduled to get to 40 by noon and by the time we had completed the task at 11am it was a scorcher.
So, here’s hoping they return to us as lovely light red – to sip on our deck over the summer days.
Some of you SPECIAL folks, may like to join us at one of our evening cherry opening occasions. BYO cheese and crackers of course!!!!

We’ve come to the end of our season at Irymple. And, although we are dog tired, we are also left with so many happy memories.
YOU, our customers, have made what we do - so enjoyable.
Thanks: for the friendly banter, the gifts, the wonderful feedback and of course the smiles.
We were super proud of our cherries this year. The weather gods were kind, and our cherry maestro Kim waved his magic wand, so our cherries were amazing.
There are lots of people behind the scenes: our pickers, packers, servers – the fellows who fix the picking machines and the broken mowers…., our families, friends and rellies …, but ultimately, we wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t for our customers.
So, our sincere thanks – but please don’t tell anyone new about us.
We have enough customers!!!!
Fingers crossed we will be back around late October.
