Green Mountain Orchards and the Darrow Family

Dear Fellow Vermonter,

I confess. I love Vermont apples (and apple cider, apple pie, cider donuts, etc.) and very much appreciate those who tend the orchards that produce them.

Today, as part of our tribute to Vermont agriculture, the Bernie Buzz is focusing on the beautiful Green Mountain Orchards in Putney owned by the Darrow family.

Now one of the largest orchards in Vermont, the Darrow family has planted, nurtured, and harvested a wide variety of apples in the hills that have made up Green Mountain Orchards since 1914. For four generations, the Darrows and their team have worked hard to keep the orchard running. Since then, it has become a beloved spot for the community and visitors alike, who come not just for the apples but for the blueberries, peaches, fir trees, cider press, and bakery – as well as the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful grounds.

Before the end of the season, the Bernie Buzz was able to visit Green Mountain Orchards, speak with some of the Darrows about their family business and history – and of course, try their apple cider donuts. I hope you will watch the video above to learn more.

Sincerely,
