September 1st marks the first day of spring here in New Zealand, and the orchard is putting on quite a show! Our plum and avocado trees have been quietly budding away for the past week or so — but today? Today they absolutely exploded into blossom. We're talking clouds of white and pink petals as far as the eye can see.
It's honestly one of our favourite times of year. All that blossom means one thing: the promise of fruit. And not just any fruit — we're talking the kind of plump, sun-ripened plums that freeze-dry into the most intensely flavourful little bites you've ever tasted. Sweet, tangy, and utterly addictive.
Now, here's the thing about fruit the way nature intended — it's seasonal, and it cannot be rushed. Our stone fruit — plums, peaches and more — won't be ready until later in the year. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just real fruit, at its absolute peak, hand-crafted by us into something truly special.
So if you're wondering "where are the peaches?!" — we hear you. The wait is real. But trust us when we say: it is absolutely worth it.
Keep an eye on the wind for us 🤞 — a still few weeks means a bumper plum crop, and that means more of the good stuff heading your way.
Patience, friends. The best things — and the best flavours — are worth waiting for.
