Green Mountain Orchards

Green Mountain Orchards was started in 1914 by William H. Darrow Sr. who was born and raised in Chester, VT. He purchased a small hillside farm in Putney, Vermont and began planting apples and other horticultural crops immediately. Today it is managed by the third and fourth generation of Darrows

We grew in production and acreage over the next 75 years until the 1990's when the apple market tumbled and many New England orchards went out of business. Green Mountain Orchards cut its acreage by nearly 50% in the late 90's as a result.


Efficient management and the development and diversification of a retail business and pick your own business has allowed us to stick around. Hopefully for another 100 years!
