We have pulled out all stops at Glenbernie Orchard to plan the biggest and best ever day at the farm! It’s the 100th birthday year of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) and we are trying to fundraise for our Stanwell Park branch. Five percent of all ticket sales and the full proceeds from the auction of Champion pies will go to Stanwell Park CWA.

What better way to celebrate than to kick back on our lawn, drink cider and eat pie! We all love apple pie but if pie isn’t enough to keep the kids happy, this year your ticket includes unlimited access to all activities on the day. There will be a petting zoo, with baby creatures to pat, brush and cuddle! And a jumping castle.

We will have plenty of places to run and hide in a massive area for Laser tag in our main paddock. We aren’t sure who’s gonna have the best fun, adults or kids!

You can take a stroll in the pink stonefruit blossoms or kick back with a beer or cider and listen to live music all day!

There will be a display of all pies from the competition and an auction at 1pm of the five Champion pies on the day.

We have a range of awesome food choices (with vegan, gluten free and dairy-free options available). Vendors include Wandering Woodfire Oven (Woodfire Pizza), Bun Me Bar (Vietnamese Banh Mi), Sevs Turkish Gozleme, OMG Donuts and more!
