Why This Spot Stands Out

Mountain Orchards – A Classic Fall Tradition

 

Since the 1970s, Mountain Orchards has been a beloved, family-operated farm that continues to bring joy to visitors year after year. Nestled in the countryside, this orchard has become a must-visit destination each fall, perfect for families, friends, couples, and anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the season.

 

Open seven days a week, Mountain Orchards offers more than just apple picking—it’s a full fall experience. You can start your day with a scenic wagon ride through the orchard, then get a little adventurous in the winding corn mazes or take a peaceful walk along the forest trails. Children love the straw jumps, while adults often enjoy relaxing in the picnic areas or sampling delicious BBQ meals. There’s truly something for every age to enjoy.

 

A visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the country store, where the shelves are filled with apple-inspired goodies. From fresh-pressed cider to homemade preserves, there’s plenty to take home. But the real star? Their apple cider donuts—warm, sugary, and simply irresistible (they’re my top pick!).

 

Of course, the highlight of any trip is picking your own apples straight from the trees. What makes Mountain Orchards unique is their pricing—you pay by the bag, not by weight. That means you can fill your bag as much as you like, making it a fun challenge to see just how many apples you can fit in.

 

Best of all, no reservations are required—just show up and enjoy the day at your own pace. Pets are welcome too, as long as they’re on a leash and well-behaved, so the whole family (four-legged members included) can join the outing.

 

With its welcoming atmosphere, fun activities, and picture-perfect setting, Mountain Orchards is more than just a place to pick apples—it’s a fall tradition that keeps people coming back year after year. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect crisp apple, making memories with loved ones, or simply soaking in the autumn air, this orchard is the perfect spot to celebrate the season. 🍎🍂
