The area produces the famous granny smith and pink lady apples, premium class wine grapes, stone fruit and various other fruit and vegi crops.

Brooklodge is the regions best Workstay. Established by Mrs Wilson in 1980 it was the first dedicated workstay backpackers hostel in Western Australia and possibly even Australia.

In the late 1990's Bruce and Janine Wallace did a complete renovation of the old hostel and today new owners (Bruce & Lynne) continue to welcome, organise, transport and accommodate hundreds of working holiday backpackers each year. The hostel even has its own bar.
