An apple a day...


From January to July, farmers in the Granite Belt 3 hours west of Brisbane produce crisp, juicy fruit that tastes like apples should taste, picked fresh from the trees.

Ten years ago David and Ros Sutton stepped off their prawn trawler to purchase an apple orchard and open what is now Sutton's Juice Factory, Cidery and Distillery.

Sutton's apple juice varieties include Granny Smith, Jonathon, Royal Gala, Winesap, Mutsu, Pink Lady and Sundowner. Adding the juice of other fruits has produced a diversified range of juices including apple with ginger, lemon, mandarin and orange. Almost all of the fruit used in these products is grown on the Sutton's farm.

Take a road trip to the Granite Belt and go pick yourself some apples!
