Welcome to Woodman Hill Orchard
Closed for the season. See you in August 2027!
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.
Thanks for a great season!
That’s a wrap on another apple season! The orchard is now closed for the year. A huge thank-you to everyone who came out to pick, stocked up on cider and donuts, brought the kids, hauled away truckloads of drops, and helped us share the harvest with HOPE of Addison County.
We still have drops available, so if you’d like some, just give us a call to set up a time to come by. Stay tuned for orchard cleanup options, too.
You made this season a sweet one, cold snaps and all. Wishing you all a cozy, happy winter, and we look forward to seeing you again next fall!
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…
Lots of drops on the ground, free for the taking. Give a call to arrange a time to stop by!
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.
