Watkins Orchard

Watkins Orchard, out in Wisemans Ferry, is a cracking spot to spend a day picking your own mandarins right off the trees. It's a real hands-on farm-gate experience, perfect for getting a feel for where your food comes from. They're all about that fresh, juicy citrus here, ripe for the picking straight from the branch. You'll want to bring your own sharp scissors for the job, so you can snip those mandarins clean. It's a good idea to remember they don't have EFTPOS on site, so make sure you've got some cash on you for your haul. This orchard keeps things simple, focusing on getting you out into the fresh air and connecting with the land. It’s the sort of place that reminds you of simpler times, enjoying the peace and quiet of the Hawkesbury region. You can really taste the difference when you've picked it yourself. It's a great outing for families or anyone looking to fill up on some top-notch, super fresh citrus.
