Welcome to Woodman Hill Orchard
Final weekend of the season – November 2nd & 3rd!
We are a pick-your-own micro-orchard serving the city of Vergennes, Vermont and all surrounding towns in northern Addison County. The orchard has over 300 trees and several popular varieties to choose from. All apples are IPM grown using the latest techniques from the University of Vermont and Cornell University.
Final weekend of 2024 Orchard Season
We managed to weave through the low and high temperatures with some apples still in decent shape and plan to be open for one more weekend – November 2nd and 3rd. We’ll have some picking off the trees and lots of drops. This will also be the official last call for cider donuts and unpasteurized cider for the season.
If you’re looking for larger orders of donuts and cider, please give us a call before Friday (11/1)!
2024 Growing Season Update
We’ve had some wild weather here, but no major crop damage like last year. In fact, after not having much to do in 2023, the trees are generously outdoing themselves. This may be the first year where just about every tree has an abundance of fruit. We’ve been hand thinning for months and it seems like we barely made a difference! When you come to pick you’ll undoubtedly notice the trees are both much larger AND loaded with fruit. Its going to be a great year for picking and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
What we’re picking…
We continue to have Empire apples, as well as limited supplies of Macoun, Honeycrisp, Sweet 16 and American beauty.
Lots of drops on the ground in general, in all varieties (especially McIntosh), and we’re offering serious discounts, including car/truckload pricing. We’ll make sure you get a great deal!
Over 9 varieties of Vermont grown apples available throughout the season.
We have nine popular varieties of apples to choose from – Honeycrisp, Rogers McIntosh, Thome Empire, Red Cortland, Macoun, Liberty, Sweet 16, Redfree and Red Rome.
Apples are both pre-bagged and pick-your own.
We also have limited amounts of peaches in August and pears in September.
Please call or check our website to see what we’re picking as availability changes throughout the season.
