A family-run orchard at Dilston, run by Brendon Morrison and his son Daniel, offering pick-your-own cherries each summer. The cherry window is short -- often only about a week once the fruit ripens -- so timing matters. Apples and pears are sold at the farm gate and at the Harvest and Evandale markets, and through the local IGA.
