Gran Elly Orchard’s open days on 26 February and 5 March during the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival were a grand success, with visitors attending from as far as North Queensland.
Gran Elly Orchard’s Dennis Angelino said he enjoyed sharing the process of caring for his 2500 plus trees.
“This caring process includes using dry organic farming practices and mineral nutrition,” Dennis said.
In the packing shed, he demonstrated for visitors the sorting and packing process with apple juice and fruit to taste.
Dennis has some old varieties including the 70-year-old Stanthorpe Ordinary Dell, which prompted nostalgia as guests tasted the fruit and juice.
