Product Development

Sally is the person to contact if you have an exciting new fruit idea.  A scientist by trade, Sally loves to dabble and experiment with fruit fermentations and has produced some pretty amazing concoctions in her time.

Fruit wines, ports, liqueurs, ciders and vinegar are what she churns out from the Plunkett Orchards’ site.

Margaret and Noel are never far from the activity.  Life and work blend into each other for Margaret and Noel, who have seen the business grow and evolve over the years.

Margaret and Noel’s experience and knowledge about the business (and everything about Ardmona for that matter!) is nothing short of encyclopaedic.
