Our Family

In 1895, the Mock family planted their first orchard just outside Melbourne. Five generations later, they continue to grow apples in the picturesque hinterland of Red Hill, Victoria. The Mock family became pioneers within the Bio-Dynamic movement in Australia when their orchard was first certified in 1974. Today the family continues to nurture and nourish the same certified orchard, creating a unique range of bio-dynamic products including their craft apple ciders, sparkling and cloudy juices, Demeter Bio-Dynamic certified fresh produce and freeze dried fruit snacks.

It is the fifth generation of Mock sisters - Mardi-Claire, Demeter & Sheryn, who have created an interactive tourism experience on the farm, welcoming the public to visit their Farm-gate and Cider Lounge to indulge in their tasty beverage range, a delicious apple pie or even a picnic in the orchard.

There are currently 4 generations of Mock's living on the family farm and can be seen working in the field, packing shed, Farm-gate, Cider Lounge and are always up for a chat to discuss the family history and what's happening around the farm.
