Mendon Mountain Orchards

Located in the heart of Vermont, this small family-owned orchard has been a cornerstone of the community for generations. Known for its rich history and dedication to preserving heritage apple varieties, the orchard has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. Over the years, the family has expanded their offerings to include a gift store, bakery, and even a motel, all while maintaining the charm and authenticity of their historic roots.

The orchard prides itself on raising pasture-fed animals, including chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, and sheep, which roam freely on the property. This method not only ensures the health and well-being of the animals but also contributes to the fertility and vitality of the land. The focus on heritage apple varieties highlights a commitment to biodiversity and the preservation of traditional farming practices. Each apple is carefully tended to, ensuring the highest quality produce for their customers.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from picking their own apples during the harvest season to savoring freshly baked apple pies and turnovers. The orchard offers around 15 different apple varieties, most of which are heritage breeds. The bakery takes special orders to ensure customers receive the freshest pies possible. Additionally, the farm sells syrup, honey, and dryer balls, providing a wide range of local products for visitors to enjoy.
