About the Heritage Fruits Society
The Heritage Fruits Society is based in Melbourne, Australia. Our aim is to conserve heritage fruit varieties on private and public land. We enable and encourage society members to research this wide range of varieties and to inform the public on the benefits of heritage fruits for health, sustainability and biodiversity.
