Willow Springs Orchard

Ah...it's Monday again. I'm infected by Monday blues virus as usual. Worst thing is I woke up with sore throat this morning. I guess I'll have flu soon. Anyway, my fingers are itchy to type out the post during working hours. :)

Before my trip to Australia, one of my colleague reminded me to take more photos on persimmons. She specially requested for close up photos for persimmons on the tree. So my friend, here are the photos that I promised.

We went to Willow Springs Orchard the day before we flew back. It's situated quite far away in Bedfordale. The farm is operated by a couple. The persimmons are grown in their farm, and packed in their small factory beside the farm. The persimmons are loaded to the conveyor and packed according to their size. The price ranging from A$18 to A$24 per box, if not mistaken. Each box consists of 20 pieces. I tell you it's worth the price. It tastes so good. It's crunchy and juicy. The fruit quality is much more better than those imported persimmons from Korea or China. Theoretically, the environment, the air, the weather, the soil and the water may be the main factors that enhance the quality of grown. I guess, due to dry environment, the tree stores the all the precious essence in their fruits. That's why the fruits taste so yummy!

Hope you like the photos.
