The Apple Farm
Our heirloom apples are grown on Navarro River bottom soil. Morning fog and hot afternoons produce tender-skinned and intensely perfumed fruit from 1700 trees ranging in age from young whips to 90-year-old specimens. The orchard is truly a treasure in an area that is quickly losing its diversity. The idea of looking at the farm as a complete organism is central to Biodynamics®, which we began practicing in earnest several years ago.
The Apple Farm was the winner of Mendocino County Fair blue ribbon for apples.
