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.
Apple Season is in Full Swing!
We’ve settled into our standard seasonal hours (Wed-Sun, 10am-5pm) and the stand is looking well stocked. In addition to pre-picked apples (varieties listed below), we have fresh pressed unpasteurized apple cider, orchard made jams and jellies, maple syrup, maple cream and candies, hats and bags, and other fun items to browse.
We have baked goods at the stand Friday through Sunday. Handmade cider donuts are available on Saturdays and Sundays.
Looking for bulk apple purchases or larger orders of cider and donuts? Please call ahead so we can have things ready for 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!
