For over a century, our family has grown up among the apple trees, tending orchards in the Orange district.

 

It all began with Arthur Cantrill, who proudly worked the land to establish fruit trees across the area. During the depression, Joseph John Treweek rode his pushbike from Sydney to Orange, camping along the way in search of work. Picking cherries on local orchards, he met Arthur’s daughter, Patricia and the two fell in love and married.

 

Joe managed various orchards, till 1947 when they had enough money to purchase their own orchard "Thornbrook".

 

Today, on this same land and now with the addition "Hillside Harvest" we continue to grow fruit, carrying forward this legacy that has flourished across five generations.
