Aus Post has informed us that they cannot guarantee overnight delivery for posting cherries due to current C-19 circumstances. We have therefore made the difficult decision not to do Express Post Interstate deliveries this year as we pride ourselves on fresh cherries and are not prepared to take the risk of giving you anything but our very best. Our apologies but such are the times.

Information for buyers:

Please note that we are unable to provide a ‘pick your own’ option.

We post 2kg and 4.5kg Express Post boxes of fresh cherries to all states except Western Australia. For more details go to our Shop Page. 

As the Marshall family, we are very proud of ‘Ferniehurst’, our own boutique farm, in a time when more and more family farms are being swallowed up by corporate business. Dating back to the 1820s and still with original convict built sheds, it was initially  a sheep farm and has been in our family for around 65 years. Some fifteen years ago we discovered that our pristine land and climate conditions were perfect for growing cherries. We are now well recognised around the markets and interstate for our wildly sweet and  luscious fruit. We attend a number of local markets around Tasmania during the summer months and pride ourselves on having fresh cherries straight from the tree, picked on Thursdays and Fridays for the weekend markets. No seconds, thirds, rejects, no handling or sorting; just fresh, real fruit, straight from the tree into the pickers’ bins and to market. Due to our unique location our cherries are crisp and clean and can be eaten straight from the tree without having to be washed!
