It’s that time of the year again when the days are hot and sunny and the nights are cool and crisp. Fair season is winding down, the kids are back to school and the fall harvest has begun in earnest.
If you are looking for yet another reason to visit Vermont this fall , the Vermont Apple Orchards are ripe with an abundant crop this year. Did you know that when you visit a participating local orchard you can purchase and pick apples for donation to the Vermont Food Bank? The State of Vermont has also placed a “wooden apple” that is hanging on a tree in participating orchards and finding that apple you can redeem it for an I Pad or other Apple electronic accessories!
There’s nothing like heading to the orchard, picking a fresh apple off the tree and enjoying the juicy crispness of Vermont’s own bounty. Here in Southern Vermont you need not go far to taste homemade apple cider donuts, fresh hot apple pie and apple crisp and enjoy a day out in the Vermont hills. We suggest the checking out the following: The Apple Barn & Bake Shop, Mad Tom Orchard, Propagation Piece Orchard, Terry’s Apple Orchard and of course Dutton’s Farm Stand.
