Testimonials for Picking Cherries at Stella Creek

People who visit Stella Creek to pick cherries often tell us how wonderful the experience has been and how much they love it up here. Sometimes they love it so much they tell other people about it!  We so much appreciate that - and we often get friends and family members who have been referred by others to pick their own (PYO) cherries.

Manny's PYO Cherries Experience

On Sunday, 25 November 2007 we went Cherry picking in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. Cherry harvest time in the Adelaide Hills ranges somewhere from early November through to the end of December/early January.

This is the third year in a row that we have ventured into the Adelaide Hills to pick our own cherries. On Sunday we decided to go to a cherry farm called Stella Creek in the Forest Range area of the Adelaide Hills. What a beautiful setting, lovely house, very, very neat grounds and gardens surrounded by cherry and apple trees and a dam teaming with Murray Cod.

The trip up Magill Road and then along the winding road through the hills on the way to Lobethal was just awe inspiring. The Hills at this time of the year are just beautiful with the apple and pear orchards, vineyards and cherry plantations laden with "young" and/or ripening fruit. All this a mere 15 to 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD.

We will definitely be going back to Stella Creek in the next couple of weeks.

Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had picking cherry's last week.  8 of our family came along, aged from 2 to 68 and we all had a ball.  We have been eating cherry's day in and out for the past week.  They are the best cherries I have ever tasted.  We have decided to make this an annual family event and plan to come next year  and picnic afterwards.
 
Thanks for a great day and delicious cherries.
