NEW AT APTEDS · SUMMER 2026/27

Our first cherry season.
Your first pick.

Something new is growing at Apteds.

For the very first time, we're inviting you into our cherry orchard to pick your own. Sweet cherries, summer sunshine and a little country magic, straight from the tree.

Be part of our inaugural harvest.

Picking dates will be released as the cherries ripen, with our first sessions anticipated in late November. Don't miss the chance to be among the first through the orchard gates.

Over a century in the orchard

A family name.
An orchard story.

George Apted came to Australia from England more than a century ago. His son Leslie’s name still appears on our wooden fruit crates - a little piece of family history woven into the working orchard.

Today, the Apted family continues growing apples, pears and quinces at Arthurs Creek and Kinglake West, with a fourth generation involved in the business.

From tending the trees to packing the fruit to welcoming you to the orchard, it’s a story of people as much as produce.

When you buy our fruit or visit the orchard, you become part of its next chapter.
