Choosing the best

Progressive cherries
A mix of cherry varieties that are consistently great tasting are harvested progressively during summer.
Cherries love the cold
Cherries require some colder weather in the winter to perform well – and the clear blue skies of Central Otago deliver!
With a natural elevation of up to 400 metres, Lindis Peaks is ideal for premium cherry production because it is less prone to frosts in the critical spring blossoming and fruit-set period
Ardgour Valley Orchards spans 38 hectares within Ardgour Station, Tarras – a sheep and beef property owned and operated by the Jolly family since 1955.
