The place is super cute and the people are nice. Only down side is there is no where to sit. So if you are waiting for a hay ride and you sit on hay they will get on to you (because it could collapse). Only way to sit is in your car or on the hay ride which is $6. The apple cider is $3 for a small cup of it. It is good but not worth the price per ounce. I got pumpkin butter for $10 and I am excited to try it.

It's a family run, low key, beautiful farm with picnic tables with toys set up for littles to play with, there's a beautiful farmhouse store with local products and they have their own fresh farm grown produce and treats for sale too. The pumpkins are not overly expensive and I consider hem to reasonably priced AND you're shopping local! I wish I had gotten the sweet man who drives the tractors name because he was my favorite part. A little hayride around their beautiful land with some life lessons thrown in for everyone to appreciate. And for all of us basic girls there are PLENTY of beautiful photo ops!

While on the river it stormed real bad and we obviously got soaked. We ran into the store (with our bathing suits on but we were wearing shorts over our bottoms) it was very obvious we were just tubing and all the customers were asking if we got caught in the rain or if we had a good time (light and fun conversations through out the store) until we got to the back counter and clear as day the lady behind says to her coworker "wow they could've at least put on shirts" IF there had been a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" sign we wouldn't have entered but we didn't see one and thought it would've been fine. Clearly it was not and the "ladies" in the back were not very polite or friendly. We took the drive to Merciers Orchard the next day and the service is 100% more pleasant.

Mercier Orchards was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Blue Ridge and is absolutely worth…read morevisiting. The U-pick apple experience was a blast, and the orchard is beautiful, well organized, and family-friendly. We spent hours here between picking apples, browsing the market, and sampling drinks. There is an incredible selection of local products, baked goods, jams, cider, wine, fresh produce, gifts, and souvenirs. Everything looked fresh and high quality, although many of the items are definitely on the pricey side. We also tried both the hard cider and wine flights, which were reasonably priced and a fun way to sample several of their offerings before deciding what to take home. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and despite the crowds, the overall operation ran smoothly. Unfortunately, what should have been a five-star experience was overshadowed by one concerning incident. After returning from the U-pick orchard on the tractor, we noticed a family parked a couple of spaces away from us. The adults removed a younger child from the vehicle, and it appeared there may have been another child, approximately four years old, still inside the parked vehicle. We fully recognize the seriousness of making that assumption and cannot say with certainty what the circumstances were. However, with temperatures well above 90 degrees, we felt it was far better to report what we observed than ignore a situation that could potentially put a child at risk. What disappointed us most was the response. We informed staff of our concern, yet there seemed to be little to no sense of urgency. Even if it ultimately turned out to be a misunderstanding, I would have expected someone to immediately check on the situation or at least acknowledge the concern and verify that the child was safe. When it comes to a potential child safety issue, I'd much rather see staff respond quickly to a false alarm than risk overlooking a genuine emergency. Despite that experience, Mercier Orchards is still a wonderful destination. The U-pick experience, shopping, cider and wine tastings, and overall atmosphere make it a place I'd recommend to anyone visiting the Blue Ridge area. My hope is simply that management reinforces the importance of treating potential safety concerns with the urgency they deserve. Had it not been for that interaction, this easily would have been a five-star review.

Once the ripe ones are picked, they close. Definitely call ahead or follow them on social media for updates on that! They do not let you eat strawberries on the farm...not sure why it's a COVID/CDC thing so that is tough with a 1 year old who is obsessed with strawberries.

And they deserve no less than 5 stars for the experience, from my first correspondence with Holly to arrange the tour, to arriving. The directions and the signage were momentarily confusing, but the site indicates to drive towards the right behind the barn on the gravel road. Pulling in you can't help but "awww" over the chickens, ducks, dogs and alpacas dotting the property. Once all of the other guests had arrived, the tour began and it was both fun and informational, about the farm, alpacas, and the artwork made from their fibers. Even my little one was less than her squirmy fidgety self and listened. Feeding the alpacas was really the most fun part as we were told that they don't particularly like being petted on their heads (only a minor bummer as we'd gleefully hoped that we'd get a few gentle pats in.) The tour finished up in the upstairs art studio where hand-made gifts were available, or where one could make a donation, as the tour is free. For how much fun it was, I wouldn't have hesitated to have been required to pay for it anyways. It was a very fun and memorable morning meeting some gentle and fluffy alpacas up close, and I would strongly suggest that anybody making a weekend trip to this area to plan ahead to also visit Lasso the Moon.

Not only did they have a variety of sizes but the largest variety of pumpkin types I think I've ever seen in one location! White, green, bumpy, yellow all beautiful, all pumpkin. In addition to all of the festive pumpkins they also had gourds, Indian corn, mum's, and all kinds of Halloween/ fall decorations. The staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were GREAT! I can't believe how low priced the pumpkins were especially compared to what we paid in Florida! We took home 4 beautiful pumpkins and a decorative gourd all for $14!! I highly recommend Weaver's and I can't wait to see what they do for Christmas! This will now be a go to place for us!
