The Orchard

The orchard at Wonky Windmill Farm & Eco Park was planted in the winter of 1999 by our families. It has matured well over the years, supplying us, our customers and local fruit shops with sweet and tasty fruit for much of the year.

Comprising of Pink Lady and Fuji apples, several variety of mandarins and oranges, lemons, grapefruit, lilly pilly, lemonade fruit and macadamia nut trees we use best farming practice and all our fruit is spray free.

Fruit Picking - how it works!

Fruit picking is free with entry to animals and fruit is priced per kilo picked - usually between $3-$4/kilo. One of the friendly team at Wonky Windmill Farm & Eco Park will assist you to select the ripest and juiciest fruit to take away with you. It is a wonderful experience for families and always a big hit with overseas visitors too!

To pick fruit without taking the opportunity to meet our animals is $4 each and the cost of the fruit picked.

We recommend you wear water proof shoes for this experience during winter months.

Most of these fruits will be familiar, however many people have never heard of a lemonade tree!The lemonade tree is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin and the flavour is just like lemonade, without the bubbles of course! However it does make a refreshing drink when juiced! The Lemonade variety originated in Australia and was launched and promoted by Engall's Nursery, even making front page of the Sydney morning Herald in the late Eighties. The Lemonade, looks like a lemon, but can be eaten straight from the tree, just like a mandarin or orange. It's a lot sweeter than a lemon with a refreshing tang. It truly has to be tasted to be appreciated.

So try something different on your next visit to the Margaret River wine region and call into Wonky Windmill Farm & Eco Park for a flavoursome fruit picking experience, friendly farm animals and freshly baked scones jam and cream! Yum!
