Cobble Knoll Orchard is a new, family-run apple orchard in Benson, VT that specializes in quality fruit. We offer over 80 varieties of apples including favorites for fresh eating, hard-to-find cooking apples and heirloom varieties. Originally a hillside piece of our family's dairy farm, we wanted to keep the land in agriculture and grow beautiful apples for people to enjoy. Open for pick-your-own daily. Fresh pressed cider, maple syrup, homemade apple pies and cider donuts available at the farmstand.

Our orchard is on land that Rick’s family has owned through many generations. It is important to us that we maintain stewardship of this land and treat it with the utmost care. The orchard receives only the minimal amounts of sprays. The timing of the application is based on information from the Cornell University’s Northeast Weather Association (NEWA), recent and future weather events and daily observations from the orchard itself. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) means that we are impacting the environment as little as possible while still growing quality fruit.
