Wyuna Farms Pty Ltd
Our oranges are sweet enough at last - we will be opening for PYO every weekend from Saturday, June 29 through July and August or until the harvest has finished. Opening times will be 10.00am - 1.00 pm on Saturdays and 11.00am - 1.00 on Sundays. Price remains $20/bag, about 14kgs.BA
People tell us we have the best oranges they have ever eaten. Is it the chicken manure or the fact we don’t use chemical sprays on the trees? Could be a combination of the two, however we thought we would share the experience with others.
Visit the Wilson’s Wyuna Farms, hear about the history of this fourth generational farm and how it has evolved since Lorraine’s father, Ray Walpole, settled here in 1935, aged 15. Or just chat with Rodger, Lorraine, Greg or Kate and pick your own oranges to take home.
Bus tours or group bookings available – prior booking essential via phone or email.

THIS IS NOT A PICK YOUR OWN FARM
Fords Farm
Weekends by BOOKINGS ONLY. You can book through our website from 4 July 2024 at 10am
Ford’s Farm is a Pick Your Own citrus orchard specialising in Mandarins. Our first mandarin of the season is the Satsuma, a seedless variety, easy to peel, full of juice and very popular with children. This year we have a reasonable crop of Satsumas, but not as many Imperials due to the floods last year.
Ford’s Farm is nestled on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, 15 minutes from Wiseman’s Ferry. The citrus orchard was established over 60 years ago by the Ford family (some original trees still produce fruit – the Emperor Mandarins). It has been a Pick Your Own orchard for over 21 years and has developed with help from our customers.
We look forward to welcoming visitors in June each year to pick mandarins, oranges, lemons, limes and Cumquats. We close once all mandarins have been picked and may re-open in July for any fruit that remains.
We have a small picnic area open from 10am -2pm only, but recommend you visit Wisemans Ferry for all picnics this year.
Visit our “shed” for jams, chutney, cordial and honey all made on the farm. The honey is different every year as the bees forage on whatever is available at the time. It is pure with no additives in the honey.
BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL through our website. Bookings will open 20 May 2024 @ 8am.
Recently we won our submission to overturn the number of people allowed on the farm at any one time which had been issued by the NSW State Government and can now operate as we see fit considering conditions for our area.
