The "Selling window" is normally 4-6 weeks.
Howell - (Mid - Late March) Another early season green
pear which . This variety is more oval than Pear shaped and
is similar to the Josephine in general appearance.
Stone Fruit

The season for Stonefruit extends between mid October to April
with produce being sourced from Queensland right down the
East Coast to Tasmania at the latter end of the season. We
range through Peaches and nectarines (white and Yellow flesh)
and the Zee Sweet line of sub acids.
Westmores are one of the Grower nominated Zee Sweet
Agents in the Melbourne Market. The range of cultivars in
Stone Fruit is extensive. The varieties depicted are examples
of what standard can be expected.
Other Lines
Passion Fruit (Qld), Custard Apples (Qld&NSW) Chestnuts (Nthn Victoria) Quinces(NSW)Mandarins(Qld)and Persimmons ( Cobram Vic & NSW) are consistently available in their season and complement our main lines. We also stock Beechworth Apple Juice and Organic Water throughout the year. We also handle Grapes and Mangos at different stages of their seasons. We have been distributing Apple Juice in the traditional glass flagons from one of our High Country Growers for some time and connisseurs appreciate the taste and authenticity of this juice which is produced on the farm where the fruit is grown. The Hi Country brand of Apples is extremely popular early in the selling season as it achieves levels of colour and crispness for which Alpine growing areas are reknowned.
It is important to realise that as we source Produce Australia
wide, some varieties will have extended selling seasons as
they follow the sun from Queensland to Victoria via South
Australia.
The development of Stone Fruit orchards has enabled us to
extend our selling season for Cherries and Apricots well into
March and sometimes early April. Cherries are normally in
Stock in early November and carry through January and most
of Februarywith Tasmanian Cherries coming to the fore in Jan Feb each year. Apricots are available from late November through
to February when Tasmanian and New Zealand fruit becomes available. We have negotiated exclusive Marketing rights for Cherries from Aussie Cherries Ltd which has established a Cherry Orchard of some 72 hectares in the Huon Valley of Tasmania and the young orchard combined with some established trees should see us accessing large,premium fruit in early January 2012 for export and domestic sales.
Intense Tomatos are a recent addition to our product line. They are available in both gourmet and Roma.
