Florence, VT
Where Outback Orchard is located
You'll find Outback Orchard just outside Florence, in the farm country of Rutland County County, Vermont. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
From Florence center, 1890 West Creek Rd. is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.
Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Vermont does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Florence.

On-Farm Activities
Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Outback Orchard tracks the rest of Vermont. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. The window most families aim for is the last two weeks of September into the first two of October, that's when Honeycrisp, Empire, and mid-season varieties usually overlap.
Weekend mornings between 9 a.m. and noon are the friendliest arrival window. If you can swing a weekday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are the quietest, some visitors report having entire rows to themselves.
