Oakwood Farm Organic Apples
Oakwood farm in Robertsbridge is one of only a few small licensed organic orchards in the Sussex High Weald. Owned by Matthew and Carol Wilson, the farm achieved full organic status in September 1999 and has been supplying Infinity ever since with a wonderful variety of local apples. We usually receive these from September through to around March but their delicious apple and pear juices are delivered to us year round.
Matthew and Carol are passionate about the environmental benefits of organic farming. "Organic production means sustaining a natural, diverse and healthy balance between the crop the farmer introduces, and the surrounding ecosystem of good soil and beneficial wildlife - such as plants, insects, mammals and birds - that controls fruit pests."
"Among the impressive diversity of wildlife species we see at Oakwood Farm are: mammals such as deer, badger, fox, rabbit and hedgehog; birds such as warblers, nightingale, bullfinch, skylark, swallow, song thrush, woodpeckers, owls and sparrowhawks; insects like bees, dragonflies and butterflies; and flowers too numerous to mention."
Apple varieties grown on the farm are: Cox, Egremont Russet, Fiesta, Ida Red, Jonagored, Spartan, Falstaff and Adams Pearmain with new varieties being introduced all the time. In store you will find a selection of their juices made from these different apple varieties as well as pears, blackberries and raspberries.
