In the Fifties the Payne Family moved 300 ancient and wise apple trees from East Burwood to Bacchus Marsh.

This was a task with manual hand tools and a classic Bedford truck. Mum and Dad ran the orchard grooming Graeme to nurture and inspire the land.

Now Graeme, Jenny and family are cultivating a range of mouth-watering boutique summer fruits to complement the stable of classic apples.

Payne's Orchards is a fusion of old world values and new varieties of juicy fresh produce. We can now offer "Pick Your Own" access to the orchards. This is a popular destination on Western tour routes such as the goldfields, surf coast and touring the spa country.

This is one of the very few genuine small family orchards left in Australia. When you visit and taste your fruit you'll know why Payne's Orchards is renowned for doing things the natural way, the right way!

Adventure out for a drive or train ride. Visit beautiful Bacchus Marsh, and call in at Payne's with your friends and family. When those flags are fluttering more fruit is ripe and ready for you.
