Take aim and add a little friendly competition to your farm visit with the Apple Cannon! Available on weekends, this exciting activity lets you launch apples at a variety of metal targets and see who in your group has the best shot. Our three cannons use compressed air and apples sourced from a local grower. The apples are “pee-wee” apples that were sorted out at the packing house because of their smaller size, giving them a fun new purpose at the farm! Simply purchase a bucket of apples from the attendant, pick your target and get ready to fire!

Let the kids bounce, play and burn off some energy on our Jump Pad! Available on weekends, this farm favorite features a large, flat inflatable area with plenty of room for kids to jump and have fun together. The Jump Pad is designed for children ages 10 and under, and a wristband gives kids access to jump throughout the day. An attendant is on duty, but parents and guardians should plan to remain at the Jump Pad with their children. It’s the perfect place for little ones to play while enjoying a fun-filled day on the farm!

Get ready to wind your way through 5 acres of twists, turns and fall fun! Our professionally designed corn maze features a brand-new design each year, creating a fun challenge for family and friends of all ages. The corn maze is open daily throughout the season. As you explore, please stay on the designated paths and leave the corn on the stalks—the corn is harvested at the end of the season and used for animal feed. Visiting on the weekend? Be sure to keep an eye out for Georgia the Corn Queen and stop by to say hello! Please note that dogs are not permitted inside the corn maze.

No trip to Stepp’s is complete without a stop at the Apple House! Browse farm merchandise, gifts, local products, and other goodies to take home. Be sure to visit the attached bakery for our famous apple cider donuts and other seasonal sweet treats.

Don’t forget your camera! Keep an eye out for photo spots and frames located around the farm that make the perfect backdrop for capturing your fall memories. Share your favorite photos with us using #SteppsHillcrestOrchard and follow along on social media to see more from the farm.

Looking to get in a few extra steps while enjoying the mountain scenery? With more than 100 acres to explore, you can enjoy a leisurely walk through the flatter areas of the farm or venture into some of the hillier sections for a little more of a workout.

You may even spot a few four-legged friends during your visit! Sugar and Cinnamon, our neighbors’ donkeys, can often be seen in the pasture adjoining the farm. Feel free to snap a photo, but please remember not to feed the animals.
