Payne's Orchards

Despite the gloomy weather when we visited, we had a fantastic time. There were more than enough apples to pick and a variety, too. There was Fuji, Yellow delicious, Red delicious, and granny smith. Everyone ended up enjoying the yellow delicious, which I originally came to pick. Let s support our local farmers.

Friendly staff, open today Anzac Day . Delicious apples for pick you own. I’m not an Apple fans but highly recommend the “gold delicious “, crispy , juicy and fresh!

I messaged via Facebook yesterday night and responded within hours which I wasn’t expecting since holiday coming . Great place for kids and family who wish to spend 1 hour picking fruit. Crispy , juicy apples and open Anzac Day .

Had the pleasure of visiting the orchard for apple picking, and I must say that overall, it was a good experience. The orchard was nestled in a beautiful countryside location in Bacchus Marsh, and the greenery was simply stunning. The orchard was well-maintained and it was evident that the staff took pride in ensuring that the apple trees were healthy and fruitful.Red and green apples were available available for picking. Both varieties were in abundance. The apples were ripe and delicious, and it was a lot of fun to wander through the rows of trees, hand-selecting the perfect apples to take home.That being said, I must admit that the price of the apples was a bit steep (onsidering entry fee and price per kg). While I understand that orchard owners need to make a profit, the cost of the apples felt a little exorbitant. Also please consider some ways on minimizing the wastages as lots of apples were lying on the ground.Overall, I would still strongly recommend this orchard for anyone looking for a fun day out with family or friends. The nature was beautiful, the apples were delicious, and the experience was a memorable one.

Visited here for a number of times, we enjoyed time here. Very accommodating despite arriving early to the session. This time we felt the price gone up, compared to the last time, this maybe is due to inflation? End of season?the type of apple? $8/kg for an apple is expensive after paying 5 dollars entry fee per person. Shop across the road were selling pre picked fruits for $2.99/kg.

Booked online but it was not busy Sunday at 11am. Very friendly and helpful service.Large orchard with a variety of stone fruit trees loaded with ripe fruit for picking. There were several varieties of plums available , as well as peaches, nectarines and the last of the apricots. Very easy to navigate, and lots of fruit to pick. There are ladders available (if needed). Good fun outing.Will make some crumble and some compote when I get home!Highly recommended.

A pretty average experience today at the farm.Paying $5 per adult to go in to only have next to zero apples at the last 2/3 trees with fruits.The reception should have been more honest I believe by telling us that they are towards the absolute end of the season / fruit and it’s not worth going in.

Pretty meh experience. Hardly took 15 minutes to do the apple picking".When I went

We went cherry picking in the third week of December 2022. Cherries were in plenty. You are not allowed to eat only pick and then pay according to weight.Entry fee is only $5 . Other places with higher entry fees ($15-18) allow eating as much you want.
