Welcome to Woodman Hill Orchard
Orchard season is coming –
see you in September 2026!
We are a pick-your-own apple orchard and farm stand located in Vergennes, Vermont, offering beautiful views and a family-friendly picking experience. 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.
Join our orchard team!
Fall is just around the corner, and we’re looking for a few dependable people to join our orchard team!

Orchard Kitchen Associate
Help prepare our popular handmade apple cider donuts, package fresh baked goods, assist with light food preparation, and keep our kitchen organized during the busy harvest season.
If you’re reliable, enjoy working independently, and would love to be part of a small family business this fall, we’d love to hear from you!

Growing Season Update
Even when the orchard is closed, there’s no off-season here! Rob spent much of the winter pruning the trees, wrapping up by the end of February despite the cold. Thanks to last year’s lighter crop, the trees put on tremendous growth, resulting in the biggest burn pile we’ve ever had!
Spring brought cool, rainy weather, but thankfully we escaped any significant frost damage. The trees rewarded us with a spectacular bloom and a weekend of near-perfect pollination conditions, leaving us with what looks to be a beautiful crop of apples this fall.
June’s rainy weather certainly kept us on our toes, but the trees are looking good, and the apples are plentiful. There’s still lots of growing season ahead, and we’ll continue to share updates as we get closer to opening day. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back this fall!
What we’re picking…
Apples! Lots of apples. Every tree produced so we expect to have our full range of varieties on hand. And maybe even a few pears. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we don’t get any overly wild weather during the remainder of the growing season!
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.
