About our cherries
Ruby red and sun-kissed yellow.
Red cherries
Red cherries range from deep red to rich mahogany when ripe. Most are intensely sweet with a vibrant aftertaste, perfect as a simple snack or dessert.
Yellow cherries
Pink-and-yellow Napoleon cherries stay light in colour even when ripe. Look for plenty of blush: it comes from sun exposure, which usually enhances sweetness. They are often large, sweet and firm.
Varieties ripen at different times, so not every type is available throughout the season.
Before you visit
Pack for the mountains.
- Wind and weather. At 1260 metres it can get pretty windy, so bring a warm jersey or windbreaker.
- Pets. Klondyke has long been pet friendly. Picking-day pet arrangements will be confirmed with the season information.
- Picnics and braais. Picnics are welcome. Braaiing is only allowed in designated braai areas to reduce fire risk.
- Tractor trips. Tractors will take visitors to the orchards and bring them back to the farmstall after picking.
- Payments. The farm is cashless.
- Accessibility and tractor boarding. Details to be confirmed. Please contact us before your visit if you have specific needs.
