Yarra Valley Cherries is a grower in Victoria with 20,000 trees and over 35 varieties. The company focuses on selling premium, ultra-fresh cherries at their Farm Gate Shop as well as distributing the fruit within the domestic and international markets.
Yarra Valley Cherries are a long-time GP Graders’ customer. Orchard managers, Robyn and Peter have been with the business for many years and have grown and evolved with us over that time. They added gpVision™ and an extra two lanes to their existing grader in 2022, bringing them up to 4 lanes. With the addition of gpVision, the grading program is far more accurate and reliable.
In the past, grading 35 varieties of cherries has been a challenge as each variety has its own characteristics. This would mean stopping to adjust settings and making tweaks when switching between varieties. The team can now run most of their varieties with the same program, as they can rely on the versatility of the gpVision system to accurately grade the fruit. The ability to grade multiple varieties of fruit on the same day without having to stop and start allows the team to pick, grade and get the best fruit to market without delay.
