We are a wholesale operation, so we are not set up to supply individuals. If you are wanting to purchase large qualities of apples we may be able to assist with your request please contact the office for more information.
Am I able to purchase fruit directly from you?
Where can I purchase Lenswood Apples?
Our national retail partners are Woolworths, Coles and many Independent retailers across Australia.
Why are there stickers on my fruit?
These stickers help shoppers and grocery store personal to identify apple varieties and help stores keep track of inventory.
My Apples seem to have a wax finish, why is this?
Apples have a natural, protective layer of wax by nature. After they are picked, the apples are brought to our packing house to be packed into boxes and sold to retailers. During the packing process, the apples are washed, removing this naturally occurring layer of wax. In order to protect the fruit before it goes to the store, we apply a food grade wax that is completely safe for eating. Wax coatings help to retain moisture and maintain that crispy crunch of your favorite apple.
More information regarding apple wax can be found here.
What stores sell organic apples?
Lenswood Coop supplies Organic apples to Woolworths, Coles, and other independent retailers.
Do we offer packing shed Tours?
Group tours of the Lenswood Cold Store packing facility may be offered Monday to Friday between 9am and 1pm. Tour requests are to be emailed through to info@lenswoodcoop.com.au and it is at the Cold Stores discretion as to whether the request will be accepted.
Given the nature of the packing shed, the tour is not appropriate for people under the age of 10 years. All tour participants need to adhere to all packing shed protocols and this will be covered off with the tour organiser prior to the event as well as forming part of the packing shed tour induction.
Do you sell Apple crates/bins?
The wooden apple crates/bins are owned by the growers, and not by Lenswood Cold Stores. If you are interested in purchasing them we would suggest contact them directly, there are a number of growers in the Lenswood & Adelaide Hills region.
Storage of other items other than Apples?
Lenswood Coop offers storage to our members in the first instance, and if we haven’t reached capacity there may be opportunity to assist with storing other products. Please contact us to discuss your request.
