Real, longstanding family-run (Scrivener family since 1897) pick-your-own chestnut and walnut orchard at Mount Irvine; farm's own site/Facebook plus independent press (The Land) confirm genuine hands-on picking with no entry fee/booking, dogs on-lead OK, toilets on site, no cafe. Distinct from Nutwood Farm already in the database (different address and ownership) so not a duplicate. Caveat: Mount Wilson Road, the sole access route to Mount Irvine, has been closed to general/tourist traffic since April 2026 (landslip risk per Blue Mountains City Council), with reopening now estimated around July 2027 -- spanning the entire next harvest season -- so normal public pick-your-own access is currently disrupted; farm has reportedly been selling hand-picked stock through other outlets in the meantime rather than running on-site picking. Address/phone are from third-party directory listings (consistent across sources) rather than a direct fetch of the primary site, since WebFetch was non-functional session-wide; spot-check before publishing live.
