When Terry Dorman first saw and started walking the old orchard in 1990, it was so enshrouded with overgrowth that some apple trees were hard to find. In spite of or maybe because of the challenges, he was drawn to this beautiful place in the Quechee hills where the orchard had been planted circa 1920 and later abandoned. Today, 31 years later, this revitalized area of thriving trees is part of a larger property with a total of about 600 trees growing 130 varieties of heirloom apples. It is called Whitman Brook Orchard and was originally part of the once well-known Quechee Fells Farm.
