Nature's harvest 🍎 Grown and nurtured in #Dwell

Nature's harvest 🍎
Grown and nurtured in #Dwellingup, and hand picked at the perfect moment, @carahollyorchard's apples are the perfect mix of sweetness and crunch. There's nothing quite like the fresh produce grown here!

Open this Father's Day to celebrate all our wonderful Dads, come enjoy a fun filled day on the #farm. From tractor rides 🚜 and hand feeding the cows🐄, to spending the morning by the fire pits with a hot brew in hand by @blackvelvetandhoney ☕, taking in the scenery and fresh country air.

Soak up farm life and prime Dad for a monster feed of smoked ribs and smashed burgers, brought to you by @smashed_as_burger_co. Relax into lunch with live music by Jacob Pihema Music on the back of the Bedford Truck.

There will also be special Father's Day edition market stalls and of course our shop will be open, packed full of fresh produce to take home and savour.

A day trip, or a well deserved weekend getaway, come enjoy the perfect #FathersDay at Carraholly Orchard. Sunday 6th September 9am to 2pm.

Of all the paths you take, make sure a few of them are dirt! 🚵‍♂️ @rolykyme_ taking flight along one of #Dwellingup's renowned mountain biking trails.
There are #trails that meet all skill levels here, adding a thrilling #adventure, as you meander through native redgum and jarrah forests, past some of @australia's oldest rocks and along dedicated #MTB trails in Murray Valley.
That red dirt, blue sky and green forest surrounds add a scenic touch to @westernaustralia's Premier Trails Town!
