DAY TRIP – It’s Apple Season… Let’s Go to the Orchard!

Join us for a great day in the North Carolina mountains at two family-owned apple orchards.  Grandad’s Apple’s ’N Such is a 100-acre family farm and apple orchard located in Hendersonville NC.  This orchard has been in the family for 5 generations.  While we are there we can select pre-picked apples fresh off the trees daily from their bins. In late September, in Grandad’s pumpkin patch, you will find pumpkins and jack-o’lanterns in every size and shape. At Grandad’s Barn and Country Store, you will find a great selection of fall harvest decorations, apple peelers, apple bakers, and other apple gifts. At their bakery, they offer hot cider donuts all day along with apple pies, cookies, hot cider, apple cider slushies, and many other apple goodies to eat! Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard is a family-owned and operated farm and a family-favorite fall destination since they became one of the area’s first pick-your-own farms in 1969.  Enjoy a wagon ride through the Orchards!  Early fall offers u-pick apples and grapes alongside sunflowers and zinnias.  You have the option to explore the flower fields, and after you’ve found your perfect sunflowers and zinnias, snip your selections and fill your take-home bucket. The vibrant blooms will create a breathtaking floral arrangement to brighten your home or a heartfelt gift for a loved one. The flower fields make beautiful backdrops for photos too. We’ll enjoy a Taste of Southern Hospitality with an included lunch at the Moose Cafe.  It opened 25 years ago in the Western North Carolina Farmers Market with the mission to serve southern comfort food prepared using ingredients found at the farmer’s market. They are family-owned & operated and committed to continuing great traditions of serving outstanding homestyle food!

The price of the Day Trip includes roundtrip motorcoach transportation from the Daniel’s Depot in Lula, GA, lunch, and orchard wagon ride. Day Trips are non-refundable.
