Welcome to Woodman Hill Orchard
Final days of the season, Oct 30th – Nov 1st!
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.
Final Weekend of the Season!
This is it – your last chance to stock up on Woodman Hill apples for the season!
End-of-season discounts are in full effect on all our apples. We still have lots of pick-your-own drops on the ground at steep discounts, and they’re free for livestock feed.
Now’s the time to fill the freezer, too: our fresh cider freezes beautifully, and cider donuts keep for a couple months, just right for the holidays. The farm stand is still stocked with maple syrup, orchard-made jellies, and other fun goodies, so it’s a great time to pick up treats for yourself or get a head start on holiday gifts.
Planning a big order of donuts, cider, or apples? Please call ahead to be sure we have it ready for you. We’d love to see you before we close for the season!
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…
We are still assessing our apples after last night’s chill. We’ll keep you posted for the weekend, though will have apples pre-picked at the stand.
PYO drops are plentiful in every variety!
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.
