What on earth is this Redfield apple tree doing with one fresh bloom amidst its ripening apples in the peak of fall? Someone is confused. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hailing from Ontario, Canada the Harrow Crisp is a large, red-blushed pear with a mildly sweet flavor. One of the loveliest looking pears around. Find these in our Farm Market or at you local VT co-op!

Sweet sweet Sweet Sixteen are ripe and ready for picking! These apples have crispy, finely-textured, juicy, off-white flesh which is aromatic, with a nutty, complex flavour that is sweet, but with a balancing tartness. Some say they detect a hint of anise or tropical fruit in the taste. Others say it reminds them of cherry candy. 🍎

Life can be rough sometimes, really deal you a big blow. But it’s what you do about that blow that can define someone.

One of our own here at the Orchard was dealt a doozy recently and his home in Jamaica burnt down just a few weeks ago. Utneil Hines, OT to his friends, has worked here for 9 years and in this fire, he lost everything. Blessings at least no one was hurt. OT is an amazing father who works extremely hard here at the Orchard staying as long as 10 months to be able to support himself and his family in Jamaica. Doing everything from making bins to harvesting and so much in between. OT and all the JA Crew that lend their time here are more than co -workers they are family. And when a member of the family is in need we rally around them and support where we can.
Come join us today to pick apples and enjoy some live music by Longwayhome Music and while you're here, consider donating whatever you can to help this amazing man and his family get back on their feet. #supportyourown #fundraiser #vermontgrown

This could be you. Come picking this weekend! 🍎 📸: @joanna_lentloveland

Did you know? Your furry friend is totally welcome to come with you when you visit! Dogs are welcome to enjoy sitting in our porch, picnicking in the upper meadow, and wandering the main orchard road right along with you. However, due to food safety regulations, they cannot help you pick any fruits. 🐕 🍎 🐕 🍏

Let’s talk about Asian Pears. These gorgeous fruits are like if an apple and a pear had a baby and it got all the best parts of both parents. The flesh is juicy and shatteringly crisp and imparts flavors of bourbon, vanilla, and caramel with a sting pear undertone. They’re irresistible once you’ve had one, trust us. 🍐 🌟 They are currently available for PYO all weekend. 🌟 .
