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.”

Scott Farm Orchard has a rich and wholesome history filled with apple picking memories!

“Scott Farm is a for-profit business owned by The Landmark Trust USA, which was gifted the 571 acre property in 1995. We grow 130 varieties of ecologically grown heirloom apples as well as plums, blueberries, peaches, pears, quince, nectarines, cherries, grapes, medlars and apricots, paw paw & persimmon.

Each year we plant new apple varieties and other interesting fruit to expand the existing orchard. Even when the apples are all picked we still encourage you to visit our farm store where we have a lot of different apples, eat a donut, drink cider and play one of our lawn games!”

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.”
