This is a gem and by far my family's favorite! The apples are delicious and there are plenty there to pick. We filled a bucket in minutes. I found the prices to be much more reasonable than other orchards and the staff is super friendly. The donuts and turnovers are to die for!!

My girlfriend and I went together as part of our baecation and it was PHENOMENAL. We don't know his name, but he looks like a George, greeted us at the entrance to the barn and explained how everything worked. There were soooooo many apples to pick from even though the harvesting season for each apple varies. We got a baby basket for $13.00 and grabbed some matching T-Shirts. Everyone should try the Apple Spice Donuts, they are so good. It's about 40 minutes from Asheville, so it's a nice, scenic drive to get some delicious apples to take home!

Great family environment. Corn maze was very good. Jump pad was great. Tried to have something for everyone and maintained everything well.

At this time it is okay. In the past we have had very few requests to bring one onto our farm. We ask that guests let us know they have brought one. Since safety of our guests is a huge concern we ask that you drive slowly and are considerate of guests on foot. Operating in this manner will help to ensure that this policy can stay in effect.
