Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in North Carolina.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“My first time here. We didn’t set an appointment to pick our own, we just went to the store. They had everything apples you could want or think. Apples, jams, jellies, honey, butters, bakery mixes, pastries, tools and utensils, cider, and slushes. When you look at the cost of apples at the store, their prices were decent. Many different kinds of apples. To pick your own you have to make a reservation and you have to buy one of their baskets. I also saw some people walking out with cups of cut flowers but I didn’t ask about them. They were pretty though 🙂”

“Awesome orchard! There are so many apple trees with a variety of apples to pick depending on the season. The store has a fun selection of apple treats. The apple cinnamon donuts are delicious. Was excited to try the apple slushie and it is hands down, the best slushie I’ve ever had! Looking forward to an apple tasting this afternoon after the sugar high wears off. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.”

“This is a stunning orchard. We bought a big bag of Crimson Crisp apples. Oh. My. Goodness. One of the tastiest and sweetest apples I've ever eaten, and I'm 65 years young! Many families happily enjoying the U-pick adventure. We treated ourselves to apple cake and apple hand pies. Parking is a bit crowded. So get there early.”

“Wonderful apple orchard! Great place to pick apples or purchase from the store. We had a blast picking our own apples wandering the orchards and making memories. The store and bakery offer a wide variety of jams, jellies, pies, breads and even a apple cider slushie!”

“Visited during weekend. There is a front store where you can buy fresh fruit and other homemade products. Orchard was quite big. Went to pick up apples mainly. There were six to seven different varieties of apples. Taste wise Fuji apples were good. Overall good experience. Staffs at the check-in should be more welcoming towards customers.”

“The orchard was a smaller place, when we went all the trees were bare out of season. The employee was not welcoming or nice honestly and we almost left but we had driven 2 hrs from our hotel. The kids were so excited as well. We bought over 150 worth of items so we were expecting better attitudes. A few people came in and left right away because they felt unwelcomed as well. The apples were good and the donuts were good so for that I'll give it a ok score.”
