“One of my favorite places in this beautiful state is Douglas Orchards. From early summer berries to fall apples, the friendly faces of Douglas Orchards welcome you to explore the beauty of their little slice of heaven. Scenic Shoreham, VT, with views of the Champlain Valley and the New York Adirondacks that will take your breath away! Bring your camera and your hiking shoes and spend some time exploring. Be sure to take home some fresh from the tree apples of your favorite variety!”
“My favorite orchard! When in season, they have: strawberries, raspberries, cherries, rhubarb, apples, peaches, and I am sure there is more to come under the new owners! Also picked up some cider today and cider donuts were available as well. Today we went for strawberries.”
“This year’s cherry harvest was heartbreaking—so many cherries were broken. It’s sad to see the results of such hard agricultural work suffer. Still, if you take your time and pick carefully, you can find some good ones and enjoy the sweetness of the season.”
“A delightful orchard hidden near Lake Champlain. Delicious apples and a cute little shop. They had a huge apple supply in 2024.”
“Great experience, plenty of apples with different varieties.”
“Pick own price doubled since Champlain orchards took over.”
“THIS ORCHARD WAS ALWAYS OUR FAVORITE. HOWEVER, LAST YEAR’S EXPERIENCE WAS HORRIBLE! THE OWNER GAVE OUR FAMILY COLD CIDER, SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOT! HEATING UP IN MICROWAVE! UNKIND, SAYING THEY WERE UNDER-STAFFED. DONUTS THE SAME EXCUSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE APPLES WERE SCARCE. A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT ALL AROUND! ☹️”
“Oh No! Champlain Orchards has bought out the Douglas Orchard! This, to me, represents the end of the small family owned orchard in Vermont. Douglas was always my favorite... the best Macs, perfect pumpkins, and a cider donut for the ride home. The owners, never big on conversation as is typical of real Vermonters, still always made you feel welcome. The whole experience enjoyed for many, many years by locals and visitors alike will be lost now that the orchard is owned by a transplant marketing huckster for Sure. That's all he and his company Champlain Orchards knows about the orchard business... marketing. With no knowledge of his own as a professional Orchard Man, Champlain Orchards has turned to buying up small local orchards, stealing the secret of their success, and re-selling it as their own. Of that, you can B. Sure. Sorry Douglas, I hope you got paid well for selling out the reputation you worked so hard to build. We’ll be picking somewhere else this year.”
