MILKWOOD is a small farm social enterprise near Mudgee NSW. They are committed to sharing skills for regenerative small farm and permaculture systems in both town and country. Their latest post is about choosing heritage apple varieties for their farm.
The varieties of Apples they suspect will grow well on their property are the Akane, Blenheim Orange, Belle de Boskeep, Fuji, Granny Smith, Cox’s Orange Pippi, Kidd’s Orange Red and Kingston Black, but as they say, a good apple, grown with nutrient dense compost and a thriving mycorrhizal action will be a good apple, regardless of its variety.
