Scott Farm

Dummerston, Vermont

571 acres · Est. 1791 · 130 varieties of heirloom apples

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Scott Farm has been in active cultivation since 1791. The farm was a key location for the filming of the Academy Award-winning movie The Cider House Rules, based on the John Irving novel of the same name.

Scott Farm Orchard & Market is next door to three of The Landmark Trust USA’s properties (Rudyard Kipling’s Naulakha, Kipling’s Carriage House, and Naulakha Stable). Two more of our properties (Dutton Farmhouse and The Sugarhouse) are located right on the grounds of Scott Farm.

Today, Scott Farm Orchard grows over 100 certified ecologically grown heirloom and unusual apple varieties and other fine fruits. Visitors can seasonally pick their own apples; visit the Market to pick up freshly picked fruit, jams, jellies, pies, and cider; or stop by Pippin’s Café for cider flights and sandwiches. Scott Farm also offers many public events, including summer crêpe nights, orchard walks, Heirloom Apple Days, and more. And it’s a perfect place for a wedding, complete with access to overnight accommodation at our historic properties.
