More than an Heirloom Apple Orchard—Farm Market, Workshops, Events & Historic Rentals! Established in 1791 when George Washington was serving his first term as President, Scott Farm, a 571-acre property owned by the non-profit Landmark Trust USA, is home to 23 historic structures, 40 acres of hillside orchards, and the Stone Trust, creators of the many dry stone walls that enhance the property. The farm, a Certified B-corporation, produces 130 varieties of certified ecologically-grown heirloom apples and many other fine fruits— available in season in the Farm Market and at local food stores and co-ops throughout New England. Pick-your-own apple season starts Labor Day weekend, as does the farm’s Fruit CSA and daily pressings of Scott Farm’s signature heirloom cider. With a focus on education, a series of workshops are offered starting in March with pruning and grafting, followed by baking, cooking, and hard cider making classes featuring farm-grown fruits August-November. In addition orchardist Zeke Goodband guides tours of the heirloom orchards (otherwise not open to the public) in June and Sept. Annually on Columbus Day weekend, Heirloom Apple Day features heirloom Talks & Tastings with Zeke among other activities, drawing people of all ages from near and far; followed by an annual Hard Cider Festival and Apple Harvest Dinner held in the Apple Barn, a popular venue for weddings and events. The Farm Market is open daily starting Labor Day until the day after Thanksgiving (don’t forget to order your holiday pies!). The four authentically- restored historic vacation rentals that surround the farm are available year-round, to include Naulakha, the former estate of Rudyard Kipling where he penned the much-loved Jungle Books and Captains Courageous. Experience the beauty of the farm and the vacation properties, where history comes alive, and the flavor of heirloom fruits takes on a new meaning!
