Did you know that we are one of the oldest continually operating Orchards in Vermont? People have been growing apples here for over a century, first as the Larabee Point Orchard and now for the past 20 years as Champlain Orchards. We are honored to be able to carry on that tradition. Due largely to to this land being conserved as agricultural land by the Vermont Land Trust as part of their Farmland Access Program. This is only one of many reasons why we are such careful stewards of our land; always thinking of the future generations who will have their day in the sun among these verdant hills. #vermontgrown Now this is art. #applepie #local #vermontmade #Repost @sugarhouseceramicco ・・・ Finished glazing and loaded the kiln at 3am and now we wait. We’re trying out a bunch of new pink glazes & we’re pretty jazzed to crack open the kiln and see how they turn out. Hanging in bed eating apple pie & drinking lattes until it’s time to head back into the studio today. PEARS! 🍐 #Repost @vsmileyjam ・・・ Shenandoah Pears from @champlainorchards So Dang Good and currently being used in nearly every 🍐 preserve including Pear Quince Orange Ginger, Pear Lemon Sage White Pepper and Pear Quince Fig Meyer Lemon. These pears manage to be juicy, sweet, tangy and have a slight whisper of tannin. Really perfect for Preserves. Plus they are big and easy to work with! It’s that time of year again! Order your Thanksgiving Pies by next Wednesday, 11/14! We have our classic Double-Crust, Crumb-Top, and Oat Crumble apple pies, plus Pumpkin Pies available. Baked from scratch daily right on our orchard! This year, leave the baking to us and just enjoy the day with your family (plus, it frees up valuable real-estate in the oven). Give us a call (802) 897-2777 or email sales@champlainorchards.com to place your order. #pie #thanksgivingdinner #vermontmade The orchard is quiet and the rain has subsided....It’s a great day to go vote! #vote #apples Meet Querina (also known as Florina), an offspring of Golden Delicious and Jonathan (among others) developed in France in the 1970’s. The flesh bears moderate, well-balanced flavors of cider and cantaloupe, providing a lush quality to the eating experience. These disease-resistant apples are excellent keepers, so keep an eye out for them in a few months when they come out of storage! #apples #vermontgrown #appleoftheweek #themoreyouknow Frosty morning sunrise at the orchard. You can barely make out the slumbering tractors with their bins waiting for the crews to come. #sunrise #vermontlife #orchard Giving people the opportunity to make memories like these is a huge part of why we love what we do! #Repost @ginachongtravel ・・・ These hams . . . . #findamazing #applepicking #apple #vermont #foodstagram #instafood #orchard #fruit #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #beautifuldestinations #instatravel #travelgram #outdoors #nature #trees #fall #autumn #ootd #targetstyle Big apples or a small person? Both! Wolf River apples are named after the place they were found: Wolf River, Wisconsin, in the 1870’s. They are notable for their very large size and are primarily used for cooking, as they keep their shape when cooked. They are also fairly sweet, so they don’t need much sugar added. The trees themselves are very cold hardy and disease resistant, making them an excellent fit for our Vermont orchard. They are currently open for Pick you own, so come on down and try them for yourselves! #apples #applepicking #vermontgrown #wolfriver We *still* have tons of gorgeous fall certified organic raspberries! Come pick enough to get you through winter! You’ll thank us later. #raspberries #organic #vermontgrown #fallberries Calville Blanc d’Hiver is the perfect choice for a tart apple. This apple is very old; known from Normandy, France in the early 1600’s. The ugly exterior of this misshapen apple belies a sublime taste. Its spicy aromatic flavor and the fact that it keeps its shape when cooked makes it one of the world’s top culinary apples! Come get some and experience these for yourself! #apples #heirloomapples #vermontgrown #orchard Fall looks good on the orchard! #vermontgrown #apples 37 varieties open and counting, people! Come pick our apples! We’re drowning! #pyo #pickyourown #vermontgrown #fallisintheair The apples look good on these rainy days! #vermontgrown #harvest #apples We know it’s fall, but guys, we still have SO MANY raspberries! Seriously, please come pick them because it would be a shame for these gorgeous little berry gems to go to waste! You could even freeze them to add some fruity joy to a dreary winter day....just saying... #vermontgrown #raspberries #pyo #pickyourown Asian Pears! These crisp little fruits are another wonderful part of fall! #asianpears #vermontgrown #fruit So many varieties open for Pick Your Own! As the season progresses, most of these will be picked out, so come get them while you can! #pyo #pickyourown #upick #vermontfruit #vermontapples #vermontgrown ❤️ #vermontgrown #vermontapples #harvest #orchard We ❤️ Healthy Living!
