The Miller family has been farming on the same land longer than Vermont has been a state. The beautiful apple orchards, diversified crop land, and maple sugarbush of Dwight Miller Orchards is located in Dummerston, Vermont, where we are proud to carry on family tradition by stewarding this land — now for eight generations. We take pride and satisfaction in producing high-quality organic apples, blueberries, and more.

Read and Malah Miller, along with son Will, grow, harvest, market, and deliver apples and other products to retailers around the Northeast and sell at local farmers’ markets. We welcome the public to our farm for apple picking and more – 15 minutes north of Brattleboro, in lovely southern Vermont.

We make pure Vermont maple syrup and press unpasteurized fresh sweet cider at our cider mill here on the farm. Our famous apple cider is always made with a deliciously balanced blend of heirloom and modern varieties. We make our apple cider vinegar here, too.

Organic apples

Red apples hang on a branch in the orchard, under a blue sky.

When growing fruit we proudly rely on organic methods and materials, which is not a common practice in the Northeast. The climate in this area makes that a very difficult achievement. For transparency, we make at-harvest test results for chemicals on our apples available to the public. Conventional apples are routinely included on the Dirty Dozen roster due to the chemical pesticide residues that are commonly found on non-organic apples.

We also employ a growing practice we call “clean fruit” that combines limited, time-bound conventional methods with organic protocols.

Our farm store is open year-round for crops in season. Pure maple syrup is always available, along with small batch fruit jams and jellies and honey. Our homemade pickles hit the shelves in late August and never last long enough (still currently in stock!).

We offer ready-picked fruit for sale, and pick-your-own blueberries, peaches, and apples whenever possible. “PYO” is seasonal and dependent on crop conditions, we recommend calling ahead.
