Pruning is almost done...both hand pruning and with the large mechanical harvester making its way through the groves of the Hunter. The grapes are all pruned......now we just clean up all the prunings and put them into heaps to dry out ready for burning.

And then we wait...for spring, for warmth and for some much needed rain.

Beautiful weather for ripening olives. These beauties look just perfect, another couple of months and they will be ready to turn into delicious marinated eating olives. What is your favourite food to have with olives? We are fans of blue cheese and marinated artichokes.

Keep an eye out for these little guys on the olive trees in your garden or your grove. They are tiny but they will eat until there are no leaves left. Look for them on the underside of the leaf. They are Olive Lace Bugs. Do not delay - contact us to rid your trees of these destructive pests.

Head on over to the official Cessnock Rescue Squad page and show your support to the men and woman who volunteer to keep this vital service going. Let's hope we never need to call on them but it certainly is comforting to know they have our back if we ever do.
