Glenbernie Orchard
Glenbernie Orchard is located within the beautiful Illawarra mountain escarpment, approximately 30kms north of Wollongong in NSW. The new Dharrawal National Park created in 2012 is the farm's closest neighbour.
Ted and Ellen Fahey began the farm in 1939 making a living from selling their home grown eggs and vegetables.
Their son Edward Fahey (Ted Jnr) planted the first apple tree in 1952. Ted Jnr continued to grow the business assisted by his wife Ruth. The family purchased additional land in the 1980's bringing the total possible planting area to around 100 acres. The land is very fertile with a climate suited to growing a variety of fruit and vegetables. Ted and Ruth’s eldest son, Glenn, now manages the farm producing apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and persimmons.
The farm’s retail shop is located on the farm. You can visit the farm to buy fresh fruit and seasonal produce, Apple cider, apple cider vinegar, jams, preserves and honey 7 days a week.
Apples are sold year round including varieties such as Royal Gala, Red Delicious, Fuji, Granny Smith and Pink Lady.
Peaches, nectarines and other stone fruits are available from November to February.
Persimmons are not available this year.
