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!

A Favorie of the owner’s son, Rupert, this apple is crisp and juicy with an excellent flavor. A true taste of fall, as it has a short season and does not keep. This apple is now open for picking, so come get it while it lasts! #vermontfruit #vermontgrown #pyo #pickyourown #apples Great morning for a stroll in the orchard! #vermontorchard #vermontfruit #addisoncounty Healthy Living is loving our Castleton Plums! #vermontfruit #vermontgrown #plums #Repost @healthylivingvt ・・・ Charlie showing off a fresh delivery of local plums from Champlain Orchards! This time of year we’re getting an ever changing variety of local fruits and veggies. It will start to slow down soon, but for now we’re savoring every bit of summer and harvest season! Apple of the Day (& now available for PYO) - Zestar! It is a good solid early apple, with a sweet-tart taste and a hint of brown sugar flavoring. The apple is medium in size, round, with red cover over 60-75% of the skin depending on sun exposure, and yellow undercolor. The flesh is white with a crisp texture, and while a nice texture for cooking the apple does tend to brown fairly quickly. So eat them fast! #zestar #vermontapples #vermontgrown #pyo #pickyourown Speaks for itself. Come by the orchard and pick some delicious fruits! #vermontgrown #vermontorchard #vermontfruit #chalkart #pyo #pickyourown Garnet Beauty Peaches! We may not have enough for PYO this year, but we have enough to stock our farm market! Forget about the Pennsylvania peaches everywhere else, and have a Vermont grown peach instead! These gorgeous bites of summer will not last, so be sure to swing by soon! #vermontgrown #vermontfruit #peaches #farmmarket Elderberries! Our organic Coomer and Berry Hill elderberries are ready for PYO! These berries are prized by herbalists and winemakers alike. Elderberries are a very medicinal plant, but mildly toxic in their raw form, so they must be cooked or fermented to consume safely. If made into a syrup, it will help to fight off colds and boost the immune system! Come pick some of this wondrous bounty! #pyo #pickyourown #upick #elderberries #vermontgrown #vermontfruit #organic
