Cowlings Organic Cherries

South Australia

Cherry growing has been in the Cowling family for four generations, since 1882. The current owner, John, is very interested in sustainable farming practices; the whole property is managed under organic certification. All the fruit is picked and packed on the property. The property is in a rural setting but is close to the Adelaide CBD. John & Gill Cowling have a commitment to growing quality fruit and varieties that customers enjoy.  They grow over 30 varieties on the property, including dark, white-flesh, and sour cherries.  They are harvested over the 8-10 week season, which extends from early November (around Melbourne Cup day) to mid-January. The size of the harvest can vary, depending on seasonal conditions – namely the weather! Cowlings specialise in good flavoured cherries and have a reputation for premium quality. These cherries are hands down the best cherries in Australia, and we look forward to seeing them arrive every year.
