The Stepp Family has been inviting guests to pick their own apples on our 70-acre working farm and apple orchard in Hendersonville NC for nearly 50 years. We invite you and your family to visit the farm to experience fun, family-friendly farm activities in a beautiful country setting on the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina near Asheville. Pick your own apples and pumpkins or select from varieties of pre-picked apples. Navigate our 5-acre corn maze or try hitting a target with the apple cannon. Visit our Country Market for a delicious cup of apple cider or an apple cider slushy. Enjoy apple cider or pumpkin donuts, fresh from our own bakery. Bring a lunch to enjoy in picnic area beside the orchard.
Happy Labor Day Weekend! The farm celebrates all hard working Americans!
You have two places to celebrate with us this weekend:
Our booth at the 73rd NC Apple Festival on Main Street in Hendersonville across from the Historic Henderson County Courthouse. Go by and visit the young folks. They’ll be dishing up fresh NC apples, apple cider donuts, and apple cider slushies.
