Quintessential Vermont and New England










Pietree Orchard: Rolling down Waterford Road near Sweden, Maine you'll happen upon Pietree Orchard.  High atop a hill overlooking the surrounding landscape is this perfectly manicured orchard of organically and conventionally grown apples.  Matter of fact, just about every apple the mouth could savor; Red Astrican, Lodi, Vista Belle, Jersey Mac, Paula Red, Virginia Crab, Machintosh, Red & Golden Delicious, Mutsu, Northern Spy, Rome, Winesap and plethera of others that I'm unfamiliar with.  I call em' all "good" apples.  On a side note, the orchard is owned by Tabitha King, wife of the author Stephen King.  Apparently, they have a home in the area and he spends some of his time here while his wife manages the orchard and small store.  If you're in the area at apple time, it's a must see.

  1. Mack - These pictures are beautiful even if it is cloudy. I enjoyed them very much. Tom and I were at Niagara on the Canadian side at one time. We also went up through the Eastern states a long while ago. We really enjoyed New Hampshire and Vermont where we spent some time on scenic roads. And all while we were camping in our pup-tent - yeah with all of Tom's 6'4"!! Keep up the blog. You are doing a fantastic job. Pat & Tom

  4. Hi, Mack,

    It's great to see that the trip's going well, even if it's been a wee-bit damp Betcha wished you'd taken the newer riding jacket.

    Keep the posts coming.

    Your kibitzing neighbor, Charlie
