Nicoletti Orchards

Nicoletti Orchards is a third-generation family apple orchard at Pozieres, north of Stanthorpe, where the Granite Belt's altitude produces the crisp highland apples Queensland is known for. Entry is free and the pick-your-own pricing rewards a big haul, dropping from $6 to $4.50 a kilo as your bags fill.

What You Can Pick

• Apples - February to May, $6/kg up to 5kg, $5/kg to 10kg, then $4.50/kg
• Stone fruit - cherries, plums and peaches in summer
• Sunflowers and dahlias - cut your own in season

Activities

• Farm shop with fresh apples, juice and cider
• Picnic areas among the orchard rows
• Flower picking alongside the fruit

Good to Know

Entry is free and dogs are welcome. Opening days are announced per season on the farm's socials rather than following a fixed weekly timetable, so check Facebook or Instagram before the drive; the 2026 apple season wrapped up in early May. Bring your own bags, or buy bags and boxes at the shed.

Pro tip: the tiered pricing means a 10kg haul costs less per kilo than a small bag; go with an esky and split it.
