Real, currently-operating family orchard at 3494 Moppity Road, Young (address differs slightly from the '3472' in the discovery note, which appears to be a transcription error -- 3494 is confirmed directly on the business's own Facebook About section). Genuine pick-your-own confirmed via the FB page's own text ('Open for pick your own') and multiple dated on-site cherry-picking videos through Nov-Dec each year, most recently 31 Dec 2025, so it is currently active. Established since 1991 and a long-running stallholder at Capital Region Farmers Market and Carriageworks Farmers Market per third-party farmers-market profile pages, adding independent corroboration beyond the farm's own social media. Sells cherries, janerik, apricots, persimmons, prickly pear, olives, mulberries plus seasonal peaches, plums, nectarines, figs, local eggs and honey via a shopfront; only cherries are directly evidenced as u-pick in photos/video, other produce may be shopfront-only. Booking is explicitly requested only for large groups, not individuals. No independent website, no pricing published online. Address and contact details are distinct from all other Young-area orchards already in the regional list (Ballinaclash, Lynton, Stony Creek, Gleann Mohr, etc.), so this is not a duplicate.
