Picnic Point Farm, located just on the western edge of Bairnsdale,
is already well-known to many East Gippsland residents. Reg
and Mary Baldwin have developed the apple orchard over the
past twenty years, and although most of their apples are sent
off to be waxed and packed for the supermarkets, selling locally
gives them much more satisfaction - the apples are much fresher
and have not lost flavour by going through the processing
chain, and customers can really notice the difference!
Apples can be purchased direct from the orchard throughout
the apple season, from February right up until September each
year. Fresh raspberries are also a specialty, the season extending
from December through until May, with some frozen ones available
later in the year.
During the season, Picnic Point Farm will have Pink Lady
apples, Red Fujis, Jonagolds, Royal Gals and Granny Smiths.
Fresh raspberries and strawberries are available during various
times in the year.
