Mathoura Mandarins

Roadside fruit stalls are many in the Murray Valley, and it was a shared love of mandarins that prompted Craig and I to drive 30km north to Mathoura, home of the Mathoura Mandarins stand. A garden oasis along the Cobb Highway, the mandarin stand is a quaint log cabin surrounded by winter blooms. Jenny, the proprietor, told us all about her winter plantings and the orchards that she and her husband have been looking after for decades. Mandarins, lemons, jam and honey are all available at the roadside stop. The early imperial mandarins are seedless and bursting with flavor. Whether your heading north from Victoria or stopping in the Murray region for a holiday, be sure to call in and grab yourself a bundle.  

"These might be the best mandarins I've ever eaten."   – Craig Gunson, June 2015
