PRODUCT JOURNEY

Farm: Newton Orchards

Family owned and operated for 90 years and across three generations, Newton Orchards is “Proudly West Australian and the Home of Crunchy Apples.” Growing premium quality apples, pears, cherries and avocados, our fruit is sourced from several select sites located around WA’s pristine, clean and isolated Southern Forests region, 300km south of Perth with the town of Manjimup at its heart. The Southern Forests are famous for the huge tracts of magnificent karri eucalypts, towering 70m from rich red karri loam soils.

Newton Orchards takes great care to go above and beyond world’s best practice in accredited food safety, quality and ethical employment standards. Apples are our key crop harvested from February to June and available year-round thanks to the latest storage technology. Our main varieties are Pink Lady, exciting new brands Bravo and Kanzi, plus Granny Smith, Royal Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious and Sundowner – a crunchy and juicy Newton Orchards apple for every month of the year.

Farm to Fork Process Story

A Newton Orchards Pink Lady apple begins its journey to your plate each September as the swelling buds on the trees begin to burst into blossom. Our orchard team takes great care at during the spring to provide the trees with the right nutrient balance at this critical growth period. As the blossoms fall and little applets fall, the crop is covered with netting to protect from bird, hail and sun damage.

Meet Your Farmer

The current owner-manager of Newton Orchards, Harvey Giblett has lived and worked on the orchard for more than 50 years under two guiding principles: “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well”, and “Find a job you’re passionate about and you’ll never work a day in your life”. Harvey works alongside his daughter Nicole and son Michael in running Newton Orchards, with the goals of growing world’s best quality fruit and ensuring ethical employment for around 80 locals and over 100 seasonal workers.

Farmer Name: Harvey Giblett

Harvey is well known in the Australian apple industry for his knowledge and expertise, his willingness to share valuable information with everyone, and his open-door policy. He was one of the first commercial Pink Lady growers in the late 1980s, and has since been an early adopter of other licensed varieties including Kanzi® and Bravo®.

In 2019 Harvey’s contributions to apple industry were recognized with the ultimate accolade – Apple Pear Australia Ltd’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Thinning occurs in late spring and early summer, which is the process of leaving only the amount of apples that each tree is capable of growing to the market’s size and quality requirements; all the excess fruit must be removed. Over summer the nutrition programme continues but due to WA’s hot dry January and February, most important is regular irrigation from our large catchment and storage freshwater dams.

Approaching 200 days of ripening, we test the crop to ensure the correct harvest specifications of brix sugar levels, balanced natural fruit acids, starch and pressure for the crunch factor that every delicious apple needs! Harvest of successive varieties is all completed by hand from Royal Gala in February through to Pink Lady and Sundowner in May and June. A period of controlled atmosphere storage where natural gas levels are manipulated to arrest the ripening process, essentially putting the apple to sleep, the flavour profile of our Pinks is better integrated as some of the natural acid composition changes, making them sweeter.

At packing time they are washed, presized and graded to ensure top quality and sufficient pink colour to meet the Pink Lady specification. Our fruit does not have extra wax applied, just a natural shine from gently buffing the skin as the apples roll across the packline brushes before being handpacked, handstacked and dispatched to their final destination.

Every Pink Lady apple has been tagged with the DiMuto QR code to ensure traceability and transparency of their farm to fork journey – to bring a taste that’s closer to nature to you.
