Vermont Apple Orchard Activities

6th Annual Vermont Small
Farms Food Fest
Sunday, September 9, 2007
11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
As the seasons change, we're looking ahead to the 6th Annual Small Farms Food Fest. We'll be hosting more delectable foods from Vermont farms and food producers than ever before. And Nick's pulling together a wonderful mix of musicians for the all-day music line-up.

We'll be updating this year's festival details as they roll in. Hope for spectacular weather and then join us in our annual celebration of Vermont farms, food, and frivolity!

Pick Your Own Apples
Harvest Season (Late August to Late October)
Monday-Saturday 9am - 6pm, Sunday 9am - 4pm
Come visit us! We appreciate everyone who buys locally and/or goes to a local orchard to pick fruit for themselves. We do think, however, that our orchard is especially spectacular. With a view of Lake Champlain, lots of apple varieties available to pick, and the fact that the folks who work here are just some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet, we encourage you to come for a visit! And meeting Nick is totally worth the trip!
