Welcome to Cobble Knoll Orchard
A small family-owned orchard specializing in quality fruit in Benson, Vermont
At Cobble Knoll Orchard we offer over 80 different types of apples including your favorites for fresh eating such as Mac, Honeycrisp, Autumn Crisp and Cortland. We also have difficult to find cooking apples such as Calville Blanc D’Hiver, Rhode Island Greenings, and Zestars. For the home cider-maker we have cider varieties such as Dabinette, Ellis Bitter and Franklin Cider Apples. You can pick your own apples, pears (and more!) or there is always a variety of apples available at the farm stand.
Fresh from our family orchard to your family table!

Testimonials
This is seriously the nicest pick your own orchard I’ve been to. So many varieties – many I haven’t seen before. The crimson macs are off the chain – sweet, tart, crisp and an amazing color! And the owners were really nice and explained the different varieties – all of which were clearly labeled. Definitely going back next year.
