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.
Late-Season Apples, Now on Sale!
Our apples weathered the recent cold and are as delicious as ever, and this week’s forecast looks perfect for picking. We still have plenty on the trees, so we’ve moved to discounted late-season pricing.
We have lots of drops on the ground too. Prices start low for small amounts and drop a lot more at 10 or more bushels, so call us or stop by to discuss quantities. We offer free drops for livestock feed to support neighboring farmers.
This week we’re also collecting apples for HOPE of Addison County, and you can help by picking a few extra to donate. Fresh cider is available every day we’re open, with donuts on weekends.
We plan to stay open through November 1st, weather permitting. Check back here for the latest updates!
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!
