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.
Fall is in the air!
We may have two more official weeks of summer, but the vibe is definitely shifting towards fall. Labor Day is always an interesting mix of the last hurrah of summer activities and the joyful return of locally grown apples and cider donuts to the weekly menu. Our opening weekend definitely felt like a little bit of both!
We’ll be open again this coming Friday – Sunday (Sept 11th – 13th), stocking the stand with more goodies and having more apple varieties ready for picking (see below for current details).
Looking for bulk apple purchases or larger orders of cider and donuts? Please call ahead so we can have things ready for you.
We’re so excited the harvest season is finally here. Look forward to sharing its delights with 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!
