You and your family are warmly welcomed to Chapin Orchard to enjoy picking and tasting the fruit on offer.

“At Chapin Orchard our mission is to produce high quality fruit and farm products using management practices that encourage a sustainable orchard environment.  Through careful and minimal use of pesticides, applied only when needed, we provide customers with healthy and good tasting fruit and cider.

We offer a great selection of apples varieties, including a few antique varieties, and some of the newer “disease resistant” varieties as well.

Currently over half the orchard is planted in Macintosh. The “Mac’s” along with Cortlands, Empires, Macouns, Liberties, Red Delicious, and Paula Reds account for over 90% of what we’ve got planted.”

Pick your own apples at this Shelburn Orchard along the shore of Lake Champlain in Shelburne. They harvest over 80 acres of apples trees. They have 30 varieties of apples, peach, pears, table grapes, pumpkins, plums and sour cherries.

A Shelburn Orchard fan writes “We love Shelburne Orchards not only for their great apples, but for the many extras they offer. There is a store (Cider House Farm Market) that sells fresh cider donuts, apple cider, honey, syrup, pies and more.

There is a small cafe that sells soup, hot/cold cider, pie slices and a few other treats. Plus it seems like every other weekend or so there is always a great event going on at the orchard.

You will also find a rope swing and some hay bales that are loosely shaped like a hay maze for kids to play on. This is a picture perfect place to spend a fall afternoon with the family.”

At Southern Vermont Orchards Apple Barn you can look forward to fresh fruit to pick, as well as treating yourself to some homemade baked treats.

“Southern Vermont Orchards was originally established in 1910 by Edward Hamlin Everett. Edward Everett began his career as a bottle salesman for his stepfather, the inventor of the Lightning fruit jar (a predecessor to the Ball and Mason jar). Everett proved to be a gifted businessman.

His innovations in the manufacturing of glass and his discovery of large deposits of gas and oil required to fuel these glass factories fostered huge success and great wealth. The main Estate building was referred to as “The Orchard House”
