Scott Farm's world-class apple orchard is keeping alive the heritage and flavor of 130+ varieties of ecologically grown heirloom apples, as well as many other fruits. You may have shopped in the Farm Market or enjoyed fresh apples right from the tree in the Pick-Your-Own areas, but today you'll see the larger heirloom orchard. Join Orchardist Erin Robinson for a stroll in our orchard and learn a bit about the history of these unique and historic fruits. You'll discuss orchard ecology, what it takes to manage the farm, and why preserving these heritage varieties is so important.

Scott Farm, in active cultivation since 1791, is home to 23 historic structures and 30 acres of hillside orchards. Their apples are available each fall in our Farm Market, through mail order, and at local co-ops throughout New England and serve as the basis for their signature line of unique hard, sweet, and bubbly ciders. They also offer a seasonal outdoor café, pick-your-own orchards, and a fruit CSA in addition to serving as a venue for Vermont farm weddings, business functions, and celebrations of all kinds. A number of community events from Crêpe Nights to our annual Heirloom Apple Day bring people together. Scott Farm is a Certified B-Corp owned by the the nonprofit Landmark Trust USA.
