Cedar Creek Orchard ยท Thirlmere

Stone fruit, straight from the orchard.

Sweet nectarines and peaches grown by our family in the hills near Picton. Come and enjoy fresh seasonal fruit from the farm gate, or book a day to pick your own when sessions are available.

From our trees to your table

Summer tastes better here.

Our stone-fruit season starts with nectarines, followed by peaches as summer gets underway. Different varieties ripen at different times, so what you find at the orchard changes throughout the season.
We sell our fruit directly from The Shed while it is in season, including first and second grade fruit when available. If you would like to pick fruit straight from the trees, check our scheduled Pick Your Own sessions and book before you visit.

What we grow

Meet the fruit.

Each variety brings its own colour, flavour and harvest time. Availability depends on the weather and how the fruit ripens each year.
01 - Nectarines The first taste of summer.
We grow six nectarine varieties: two white-flesh and four yellow-flesh varieties. Our white-flesh nectarines are sub-acid, meaning they have lower acidity in relation to their sweetness, giving them a particularly sweet taste.
Nectarines are usually the first stone fruit to mature at Cedar Creek Orchard, bringing the first taste of summer to our shed and picking season.
Usual harvest: early November to late December
02 - Peaches
Sweet, crisp and fragrant.
We grow white-flesh peaches, including sweet Zee-Sweet varieties. These peaches are also sub-acid, giving them a lovely sweet flavour.
Our peaches can be enjoyed while they are still crisp and firm, or left to soften a little if that is how you prefer them. Our first peaches usually ripen in November, with later varieties following into summer.
Usual harvest: mid-November to mid-January

Both fruits may be in season, depending on the varieties and how the harvest is progressing.
January
Our later peaches usually finish around mid-January.
Seasonal dates are a guide only. Weather and crop conditions can change availability.

Experience the orchard

Pick your own, when the fruit is ready.

Stone-fruit picking runs on selected dates during the season. Our sessions are organised to take visitors into the right part of the orchard and show them what is ready to pick.


Enjoy a tractor ride, see the fruit growing on the trees and choose your own fresh peaches or nectarines to take home.
