Where to Buy Pawpaws in Vermont

3 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in Vermont. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.

Vermont is the cold northern edge of the pawpaw's range, so growing it here takes hardy stock and an early-ripening variety. Elmore Roots Nursery in Wolcott and Perfect Circle Farm in Berlin ship pawpaw trees suited to the climate, and Sugarsnap Farm in Burlington sells the fruit in season. The season is short and pawpaws ripen from mid-September into October, so the safest choices are early varieties like Kentucky Champion, Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, and Summer Delight.
