Along the way, we’ll look at the realities of modern apple production, including how heritage, standard, and disease-resistant varieties each fit into the picture.We’ll also talk honestly about the opportunities and uncertainties around newer and more distinctive cultivars — what they offer, what they demand, and how growers decide whether they’re worth the risk.Whether you’re actively growing, planning, or simply curious, the day is designed to share ideas, ask questions, and learn together in the orchard itself.Boxford Farms spans 235 hectares and cultivates a variety of crops, including apples, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and asparagus. While the farm follows conventional growing practices, in the interest of sustainability and efficiency Boxford manage their crops with minimal inputs. Complimentary lunch and refreshments will be included on the day.
