Family orchard at 640 Swamp Road, Lenswood, run by Bron and Justin Wenham; confirmed as a genuine, currently-operating pick-your-own business via a Play & Go Adelaide article dated April 2026 covering the 2-3 May 2026 event (picking bag included, Rustic Orchard Cafe onsite, dog friendly, free parking, no bookings required). Unlike most regional pick-your-own farms, it appears to open for public picking only one weekend per year as part of APGASA's Pick a Pink Lady Weekend (also joined by Bundaleer, Stafford Orchards and Ceravolo Orchards), not for an extended season -- current-year dates should be confirmed via its Facebook page before referral. Distinct business from @Lenswood Pick Your Own (122 Harris Rd, Lenswood) and Harrisville Orchards (72 Harris Rd, Lenswood): different address and different operators, confirmed not a duplicate.
