Champlain Orchards is a family-owned, ecologically managed orchard in Shoreham, VT, one of the oldest continually operating in Vermont, growing over 175 varieties of apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries, nectarines, berries, and more across 300+ acres. They produce handcrafted hard ciders and fresh sweet ciders using estate-grown fruit, with a focus on sustainable land stewardship, solar power, and community initiatives like donating apples to food banks. Visitors can enjoy farm market, pick-your-own, cider garden, events, and online shopping for cider, fruit, gear, and trees.
2025 extreme drought led to below-normal harvest; sweet cider includes 'Northern Blend' from NY orchards temporarily. Farmstead won USA Today 2025 Readers' Choice for best cider. Cider for Good: donates 1/4 lb apples to food banks per 4-pack sold.
