Welcome to Woodman Hill Orchard
Open for the 2026 season!!
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.
Pick before the chilly weather arrives!
Saturday night’s forecast calls for temperatures cold enough that they could affect the apples still on the trees. We’d love for as many apples as possible to go home with you while they’re at their best, so we’re offering 20% off our pick-your-own price through Saturday, 10/17.
If you’re after large quantities of drops for cider, sauce, or animals, come visit while the picking is still easy.
The farm stand will be open Sunday as always, with pre-picked apples, fresh cider, and baked goods. We will update picking availability daily, so check back often. Hope to see 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!
