TFG out, the Orchard Keepers in.
After 3 incredible years Tellurian Fruit Gardens is closing it’s doors. The incoming leasees are a top-notch bunch of locals that are donning the orchardist hat. So, expect to see some changes in the comms and some new faces at the market stall but no change in the diversity and quality of the organic stone fruit.
End of season markets
As Autumn draws to a close, Tellurian Fruit Gardens is entering it’s final stage. Sales depending, this week will likely be our last market in Coburg for this season and for TFG as a business. There may be small amounts available in Castlemaine beyond this week. Follow the link below to order one of the last remaining specials boxes of Pink Lady apples or Packham pears. Both will last quite well refrigerated or not – especially the apples.
All work and no play makes Ant a dull boy.
As many of you already know, I have decided to not renew my lease when it expires at the end of this financial year. It was a big decision that I considered over many months while trying to weigh up the pros and cons and unravel the conflicting emotions. I do love big change – things that upheave my life and push me once again out of my comfort zone and into a place of growth and learning. My appetite for the unknown didn’t make the decision any easier but what was very clear was that I found myself unhappy and a big part of that discontent was a lack of balance.
The end is nigh (final fruit orders)
The harvest season for 20/21 has come to a close. Over the next few weeks we will be attending farmers markets until we sell out of fruit (we do not store fruit over winter). There are boxes of apples, pears and plum seconds available online, plus some extra varieties only available from our market stall. Last chance to grab a box at a special price – ideal for juicing, drying, stewing, fermenting etc.

Specials boxes available now
Our Certified Organic Amber Jewel plums are a gorgeous yellow flesh plum with a ‘diamond’ shape. They are sweet and have a firm, almost ‘crispy’ texture. They make a delicious country wine (see here for method) or to make a mead simply replace the sugar with honey.

If you find any affected fruit that you bought from us, please advise us ASAP. You can use the contact form on our website, send a text message or find us at the Castlemaine or Coburg Farmers Markets.
