brothers
in the beginning


In 1973 Terry and John purchased their share of the farm where they began a new business venture, The Giacosa Brothers. From here the brothers decided to expand buying more land, developing their horticulture skills growing apples, pears and stone fruit.
In the mid-80s in Applethorpe the brothers planted around 400 persimmon trees. Persimmons were chosen as it was a unique and different fruit and there was also the attraction to the striking red and yellow foliage on the trees, not to mention the vibrant colour of the fruit.


a thousand persimmon trees
In 1986 Terry and Susan were married and they began their own family with three children namely Catherine, Julie and David. A few years later the brothers decided to take on a farm each, giving the children an opportunity to learn about growing fruit. Today all three children invest some time to help out during harvest.
Terry and Susan are an amazing duo who have successfully created the beautiful farm that Terry’s Sweet Persimmons is today, along with the help of their children of course. There are over 1000 delightful persimmon trees on the family orchard.


persimmons have two different varieties
Persimmons have two different varieties with the older being astringent which requires the fruit to soften before it’s consumed and the non-astringent variety, the Fuyu can be eaten soft or crunchy, either way, it’s scrumptious. Terry and Susan grow the Fuyu variety during the Autumn months and they absolutely enjoy watching their grandchildren Amelia, Isaac and Lucas spending time in the orchard. The couple are avid farmers that take much pleasure in growing delicious fruit that consumers would relish eating.
