On Wednesday morning, Jamie Adams was up tree, picking avocados at his Bobs Farm property.
On Thursday he and his family - wife Yvonne and probably their kids Max and Miley - were packing the 800kg of Haas avocados they picked during the week. After six days of ripening, they will be sold, many by pre-order, to customers at the Adams' own roadside "Green Door" stall, open every Saturday during the season, at their Bobs Farm property, and on Sunday at their stall at the Newcastle City Farmers Market.
