Where Chapin Farm and Orchard is located

Chapin Farm and Orchard is tucked into Chittenden County, on the outskirts of Essex. It's one of a handful of working apple farms in this part of the state that still opens the rows to visitors each fall.

There isn't a formal street address on file, so Essex, VT plus a call to the farm the day before is the safest bet.

Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Chittenden County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Essex itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.

Best Time to Visit

Apple season at Chapin Farm and Orchard tracks the rest of Vermont. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. For photographers and casual pickers alike, the first three weekends of October tend to be the sweet spot, cooler mornings, changing leaves, and the widest variety selection.

Saturdays fill up fast once the first frost hits. Sunday afternoons and any weekday morning are noticeably calmer if you'd rather not queue at the register.
