Come join us on the farm during harvest season for Champlain Orchards' free outdoor acoustic concert series! Bring the family and enjoy some of Vermont's finest pickers as they string up and play old-time, bluegrass, folk, and acoustic rock. Always fun and family-oriented, these concerts will be the soundtrack to your day in the orchard. You'll be picking Macintosh and Empires as the musicians pick banjos, mandolins and guitars, bow fiddles and sing well-loved melodies. Also, be sure to be here for our Annual Harvest Celebration!
