We are looking forward to January when white peaches bring in the New Year!

Later in January, towards Australia Day we will begin picking our first apples of the season. These are our ‘gala’, a sweet crunchy apple, the perfect size for a lunchbox or snack.

Find local seasonal produce at the Paddock at Darkes.

You can visit ‘The Paddock’ by Earthwalker & Co , have a bite to eat, sip a cider and there will also be days when we’ll have live music! Watch out for local live artists from Tillee Music, and young talent like Olivia Coggan and more!
