Details
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 our Pick-Your-Own areas, but today we'll bring you into the larger heirloom orchard as part of Dig In Vermont’s Open Farm Week. Join Orchardist Erin Robinson for a stroll in our orchard and learn a bit about the history of these unique and historic fruits. We’ll discuss orchard ecology, what it takes to manage the farm, and why preserving these heritage varieties is so important.
