Pink Ladies for Pink Ribbon: Pink Lady Apple Picking & Mother's Day at Apteds Orchards, Arthurs Creek | Farm | Events

On Mother’s Day weekend, Apteds Orchards in Arthurs Creek, Victoria, invites families to 'Pink Ladies for Pink Ribbon' — a pick-your-own Pink Lady apple event that pairs crisp autumn air with picnic moments and a charitable purpose. Spread across the orchard’s neat rows, visitors pick ripe Pink Lady apples, settle on orchard seating for relaxed family photos, and leave knowing their visit supports the National Breast Cancer Foundation. At the arrival point you’ll head downhill from the carpark to the check-in desk, collect a picking bag, and step into parallel lines of apple trees heavy with pale pink-streaked fruit. The scene is defined by ordered rows of low-branching trees, weathered wooden posts that mark boundaries, and the soft crunch of grass underfoot. Key features to expect are the Pink Lady trees in full harvest, gravel paths between rows, a central picnic seating area, and the weigh-and-checkout station where $1 per kilogram picked and $5 from each adult ticket is earmarked for NBCF. The itinerary is simple: arrive for your session, pick at your own pace, pause for a picnic, then weigh your haul to finalize your purchase. The event runs across 9 & 10 May and is designed as a relaxed outdoor experience for all ages; group sizes cap around 20 per session to keep the orchard atmosphere calm and spacious. Pink Lady season offers crisp light and firm fruit ideal for eating straight from the tree or for baking at home. Why this outing stands out is its blend of straightforward outdoor recreation and community impact. Apteds Orchards turns a family-friendly farm visit into a fundraiser—making every kilogram of fruit and every ticket a small act of giving. The layout and gentle walking make it accessible to most visitors, and the orchard’s autumn palette is a photographer’s easy backdrop. Practical details: wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for rows and uneven ground; bring a picnic blanket and layers as May evenings can cool quickly. The check-in is downhill from the carpark, so plan for a short walk with any gear. No advanced skills are required—just curiosity and a pair of hands ready to pick. Arrive early in your session to nab the quieter end rows, bring reusable bags for extra fruit, and ask the check-in team for simple picking tips and the best apples. Children enjoy the low branches and family photos; the capped session size keeps the orchard feeling spacious and easy to navigate. Whether you’re after fresh Pink Lady apples, a low-key outdoor Mother’s Day plan, or a way to support breast cancer research while enjoying a crisp Victorian autumn day, Pink Ladies for Pink Ribbon at Apteds Orchards is a focused, feel-good escape within reach of Melbourne’s northeast.
