OUR STORY

The story of Champlain Orchards as we know it today began in 1998

1998 was the year 27-year-old Bill Suhr purchased 60 acres of orchard in Shoreham, Vermont. At the time, his motivation and initiative to live off the land overshadowed the fact that apple growing and fruit farming were not in his realm of knowledge.
