Penland Orchards & Farm Market (formerly Penland's Apple House)

“Located across the street from Panorama Orchards is Penland Orchards Farm Market!! These guys are doing it right! With multiple tables, full of peaches and apples… You can get strawberries, jellies, dressings, honey, there is even a section where you can get children’s books, hats, shirts, and souvenirs. At checkout, you can get fresh apple, fritters, donuts, and frozen fruit smoothies (I got a large strawberry smoothie) so delicious! While this area is a little far away from home, they have an excellent selection, top quality, fruits, and the employees are an absolute pleasure to speak with. You won’t be disappointed! A note about the parking… It is free and the parking lot is reasonably sized. Off to the side, there is a large gravel area for overflow. So you should never have to worry about parking.”

“We visited this place on a Thursday and we had the whole place to ourselves. Apple season is winding down and this store will soon be closed for the season. Still we had a very large selection of apples to choose from and all kinds of sweets. They make their own fried pork skins here. I highly recommend them. The locals load up on them the last week of the season. We were told that they freeze well to be eaten later. Who knew?! In the end we settled on a 40 pound box of Mississippi Sweets, one of the best sweet potato that you will ever eat. Very friendly staff and a large parking lot.”

“Penland's had their apple butter along with fresh fried apple pies and fritters. There were a lot of apple products and apples. They also had wearing apparel,gifts,souvenirs,and other food products. The store space was decorated with old farm implements and tools hung on the wall. Penland's is a fun place to shop.”

“Best and freshest apple pies ever! Being diabetic, Pendants apple pies never shoot my blood sugar up and the baked apples in their pies are always crunchy vs.. soggy and sugar-laden like store-bought apple pies.”

“On this day , it was my first time going to Georgia. ! Loved it. I love seeing how cute they added things. Got some apples to make some desert. Hopefully I come back here :)”

“We've driven by so many times and never stopped before today. Not really a lot of gifts if that's what you're looking for, but a good variety of salsa and jams. There weren't a lot of choices for apples, but there was a bun of super cute bin mini pumpkins out front. Yeah, I bought a bunch of those. 😀🎃 There's a nice covered area for chilling and enjoying your goodies such as donuts or ice cream. There's a few fun photo op spots.”

“My wife and I stopped in this place this afternoon and it was a decent place to shop. They are know for their selection of apple related items. We saw some apple fritters in the display case and they looked really good so we bought one to share (it was big). We soon left down the road and my wife opened the bag and split the fritter to share and it was very stale on the inside. It still kind of tasted good, but between it being stale and dry, it was very disappointing to say the least. I was really looking forward to eating a good fritter. I am sure that fritter had been sitting in that case for several days. They should not be keeping fresh made products for that long. If the fritter had been fresh, I’d probably gave them a 5 star review. I didn’t score lower because the rest of the business was decent. Just a stale fritter.”

“Lots of selection but prices are very high. We were so excited to try an apple fritter but disappointed because it was stale, dry and missing the apples.”
