Profile

At Champlain Orchards, we aim to produce the best-tasting apples possible, and to take good care of the earth while we're at it. Located on a beautiful hilltop in the Champlain Valley, we grow 15 delicious varieties of apples and press our own fresh, sweet cider. As a 100 year-old family-owned and operated farm, Champlain Orchards strives to preserve the best traditions of Vermont apple farming, while tapping the best of new farming advances. In this spirit, we grow both old time New England varieties such as the Northern Spy, and new delicious flavors such as the Honeycrisp. Similarly, we care for the land and the trees in many ways that date back to the first American settlers, but also practice integrated pest management, have a transitional organic orchard, and take a thoughtful, forward-thinking approach to growing safe apples and being excellent stewards of this land. During the harvest, Champlain Orchards hosts free evening concerts. Spread out with a picnic on our hill overlooking Lake Champlain to enjoy bluegrass music, bagpipes and folk music with your kids, pets and friends.
