Dried Fruits Sales Page
O'Reilly's dried fruit is produced throughout the growing season from a wide
variety of peaches, plus plums, nectarines, pears and predominately Moorpark
Apricots. At this time most of our dried fruit is gassed with a minimal
amount of sulphur dioxide and is therefore unable to be certified as
organic. This process occurs after the fruit is cut onto trays and before
it is put out in the sun to dry.
A medley selection, showing here the 400g & 250g range of our dried fruit from the Wirrabara Forest.
The taste is superb.

Extensive market research has shown that the majority of our clients prefer
the benefits this process provides. This being, fruit colour and a level of
moisture retained in the fruit that allows for some softness. Our fruit is
not as soft as that commonly found on the supermarket shelf however, due to
our minimum use of sulphur.....the more sulphur the higher the level of
moisture that can be retained in the fruit.
"Sweet & tasty". The fruit shown here is ready to take to our local markets, which are:
Wirrabara Producers Market - 3rd Sunday in month
Jamestown Market - 1st Sunday
Quorn Community - 4th Sunday
We also stock our local community shops
& Visitor Info Centres.

We do dehydrate some of our fruit, without sulphur, for those who have a
sulphur intolerance. The flavour is terrific. However it does cost more
due to being more labour intensive and the fact that the fruit moisture
level is lower, which means that there is more fruit per kilo.
Our retail prices per pack are:
Apricots 250g - $5.50
Apricots 400g - $8.00
Summer Medley 250g - $6.00

Dehydrated fruit 200g - $7.00
