Real, currently-operating multi-generation (Sicilian-heritage) family farm at Hanwood near Griffith, running guided 'Farm Safari' tours by tin bus Tue-Sat 1:30pm (Sun/Mon by phone arrangement) for over 30 years -- confirmed via the farm's own site, Visit Griffith, VisitNSW, Hipcamp and an active Facebook page (753 likes). This is a bookable guided-tour experience, not a casual walk-in orchard, but it does include genuine hands-on picking: the phrase 'pick a fruit from the orange trees and make your own fresh juice' appears consistently across independent listings (Hipcamp/VisitNSW-sourced description echoed in multiple aggregators), distinct from the farm's separate 'sample fruits in season' tasting component covering its other fruit/nut/grape crops. On-site Harvest Cafe (morning tea/lunch/afternoon tea, by arrangement for groups) and a farm store selling homemade jams, mustard and wine. Address/phone confirmed via Visit Griffith listing. No explicit statements found on dogs or toilets, so left null. Not a duplicate of any farm in the existing list -- no other Griffith/Hanwood/Riverina-MIA farm present. Does not cleanly fit any of the 35 existing regions (nearest is Wagga Wagga under riverina-south-coast, ~150km away in a region otherwise anchored around Young/Batlow and the NSW South Coast), so a new region is suggested per the discovery note.
