Our Story

Rick and Amy Bartholomew are no strangers to hard work as they are both large animal veterinarians.

Rick Bartholomew had a dream of starting an orchard on his family’s hillside farmland.

He worked diligently on the weekends to plant and cultivate his favorite varieties of eating, cooking and cider apples while practicing veterinary medicine in northern Vermont. Cobble Knoll Orchard opened for its first season in 2021. With the help of their large extended family the orchard has grown to over 5000 trees.

On any given day you can find Rick, his wife Amy, his Dad (also a veterinarian) or his aunts, uncles and cousins helping out in the orchard. Any of them will be happy to point you in the direction of their current recommendation for the best apple available that day.
