A Rutland County farm claiming over 80 apple varieties plus pears and peaches, pressing its own cider daily in small batches — but no phone number or street address could be confirmed, so social media is the practical way to reach the farm.
Cobble Knoll Orchard is located in Benson, in Rutland County, Vermont — no specific street address was found, only the town. The farm claims more than 80 apple varieties, a genuinely large number even relative to other high-variety orchards documented in this research, such as Gould Hill Farm’s claimed 100-plus in New Hampshire or Hackett’s Orchard’s 50-plus in Vermont. As of the page checked, six varieties were confirmed ready via a live update: Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Zestar, Sansa, Ginger Gold, and Premier Honeycrisp — a spread covering early varieties (Zestar, Ginger Gold, Sansa) through mid-season standards (Honeycrisp, McIntosh). A cider mill is confirmed, with the farm pressing its own cider in small batches daily. Cider donuts and other baked goods are sold from the farm stand.
The farm describes its season as running August 22 through October 25 — a specific, dated range rather than a vague seasonal description. As with several other orchards in this research, the year wasn’t spelled out explicitly in the text captured, so 2026 is inferred from the page reflecting a live “ready now” variety update rather than a confirmed year-stamped statement. Still, having both a start and end date, even without an explicit year, puts this record ahead of many others in this batch that give only an opening date with no stated close.
Beyond apples, the record names Gloria peaches specifically as a late-August crop — a level of specificity (naming the actual peach variety) not seen at most other orchards in this research that mention peaches only generically. Combined with pears also grown on the property, Cobble Knoll Orchard reads as a genuinely diversified small-fruit operation similar in spirit to Bashista Orchards in Massachusetts, though with a considerably larger apple-variety count.
The farm’s own site describes pressing its own cider in small batches daily — a specific operational detail that distinguishes it from orchards where cider availability isn’t described in terms of frequency or batch size. This suggests fresh cider is likely to be available on most visits during the season, though the record doesn’t specify exact quantities or whether cider could sell out on a busy day.
Notably, no phone number or street address was found on the page fetched for Cobble Knoll Orchard — a gap shared with Belltown Hill Orchards in Connecticut and Mad Tom Orchard and Burtt’s Apple Orchard elsewhere in this Vermont research. For a visitor wanting to call ahead to confirm current variety availability or exact directions, that option isn’t available based on what was found here; social media is the more likely path to current information.
No PYO pricing is confirmed, and no phone number or street address is available. The season window’s year isn’t explicitly stated, only inferred.
Cobble Knoll Orchard offers one of the widest confirmed variety selections in this entire Vermont research batch, with a specific season window and daily small-batch cider pressing as genuine differentiators. The lack of any confirmed phone number or address is the practical gap to work around — search for the farm’s social media presence to confirm current picking status and exact directions before making the trip to Benson.
The season window is described as August 22 through October 25, and as of the page checked, Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Zestar, Sansa, Ginger Gold, and Premier Honeycrisp were confirmed ready — though the year wasn't spelled out explicitly in the season-window text.
