Eastern Colour’s first Pick Your Own (PYO) event of the season was a huge success, with over 800 attendees.

About half of those were Stanthorpe and Warwick locals.

Maryanne Geygan from Eastern Colour said “we are really lucky to have the support of our community”.

“We have a lot of people who come every time we open for a Pick Your Own weekend.”

A number of visitors also came from the Toowoomba and Brisbane areas.

Eastern Colour will be opening monthly throughout their season for PYO events.

Their next PYO event will be held on 30 and 31 October, the final weekend of the month.

Maryanne said they are especially excited for their PYO weekends from January to May, where they will be able to offer apple picking as well.
