A Darrow family orchard operating since 1914, one of Vermont's largest at 125-plus acres — the site posts an August 22, 2026-dated update on which varieties are currently ripe, but no PYO hours or pricing are published.
Green Mountain Orchards, in Putney, Windham County, Vermont, has been run by the Darrow family since 1914 — more than a century of continuous operation. It’s one of Vermont’s larger orchards, with 125-plus acres of apples and nearly 18 acres of blueberries. Though it sits in the same general Dummerston/Putney area as Scott Farm Orchards, already in this dataset, it’s a genuinely distinct farm.
The record’s most specific detail comes from the orchard’s own /pyo page: an explicit “as of August 22, 2026” update naming Paula Red and Zestar as the currently ripe varieties. That’s a real, dated confirmation — more precise than many records in this batch — but it’s important to read it correctly. This is a snapshot of what was ripe on that specific date, not a promise of a full-season variety list or a guarantee those two varieties will still be available later in the fall. Rather than stretch that into a general “late August through end of October” season window, the record leaves season_start and season_end unconfirmed.
Over 125 acres of apples plus nearly 18 acres of blueberries is a substantial planting — enough that Green Mountain Orchards stands among Vermont’s larger orchard operations. That scale suggests a wider range of picking area and likely a broader variety selection than the two currently-confirmed names, even though the record can’t confirm the full lineup.
A specific, stated policy worth knowing before you go: dogs are not permitted in the orchard. If your visit plan included bringing a pet along, that’s not an option here, according to the orchard’s own stated rules.
Cider donuts are confirmed available. What’s missing is any confirmed pick-your-own hours or pricing — neither is published in the record, so this isn’t a farm you can fully plan a visit budget or schedule around without calling ahead.
The 1914 founding date, combined with continuous Darrow family ownership, gives Green Mountain Orchards a real depth of history. That’s worth something on its own, even without a full modern variety list or posted pricing — this is a farm with more than a hundred years of institutional knowledge behind its apple-growing.

Green Mountain Orchards brings genuine scale and more than a century of family history to Vermont’s apple-picking scene, with a specific, dated snapshot of currently-ripe varieties as of late August 2026. For hours, pricing, and what’s ripe later in the season, a call to 802-387-5851 is the way to get current information the record doesn’t have.
