Outside, they had vendors setup for a market. The market was adorable and all vendors were so kind. Inside, Grandad's Apples had wonderful snacks, merchandise, and activities. There was you pick sunflowers and lavender, an amazing play space for kids, and a peaceful seating area near the water. I highly recommended stopping by here if you've never been!

Grandad's Apples is my favorite orchard in the area to visit. It is located in Hendersonville, NC,…read moreand has a good-sized parking lot. It is family-owned and opened back in 1994. You can pick your own apples or select already-picked apples if you want more varieties to select from. They have some already bagged or you can bag your own. I love that they offer apple slices of all the current varieties so you can figure out your favorites. I was surprised I didn't like the sweetest apples but liked the more tart ones. Besides apples, they have pumpkins. The sunflowers were at the end of their life when I was there, but I was glad I got to see them. The gift shop sells cider and other items, and the bakery has pies, cookies, donuts, slushies, and other goodies. Customer service is friendly, and on the weekends, they have other activities to do. But you can walk to the water and enjoy the views.

Then an in-depth presentation of the Alpacas and Llamas. Complete with petting. Next a stroll past several apple trees. Next their affectionate donkey, Dominick. A gorgeous view of the valley and mountains in the distance and finally goat feeding and their cows. Well worth the drive the time and modest fee.

If you have NEVER been to any sort of farm this may interest you. We were not impressed and…read morehonestly a little bored. Maybe it was the young female guide that seemed bored to be there. She was a nice girl and was not rude she was just not very informative about the farm - she told us more about a mule passing gas than she did about the history of the farm or the alpacas - many people had to ask questions to get any information. There were alpacas - couldn't touch them that day, there was a pot belly pig, lots of goats, one cow and 2 horses. The tour consisted of more walking around the farm than learning. I'm sorry - I just thought for the amount of time it took to get there and at 20$ per person it would be more informative.

They are amazing caring people. I recommend a tour of the farm. Even though I have not been there…read moreyet but I have met them and they are very nice.

My husband and I visited with our two young kids and had so much fun. We got to visit with the animals, learn about the property, and help feed the baby goats! We also got to sample some cheese made from goat milk. This is a working farm so be prepared for normal animal mess and to have to give many many pets to the dogs. Boots are recommended!

We called that morning and were able to visit at 2:00 PM. They welcomed us and gave us a complete and very informative tour of the farm. We got to meet the alpacas by name and visit the 11-month-old and 4-month-old alpacas with their mothers. We even had the chance to feed and walk with one of them. A huge thank you to the wonderful couple who owns this property for your kindness, patience, and understanding, especially with part of my family who did not speak English, allowing us time to translate. Your property is beautiful, and the alpacas are clearly loved and well taken care of. We will definitely visit again next time we are in this part of the country!

You may think you arrived at the wrong spot, but at the end of a long driveway you'll find a surprising 6 acre property.  A lovely couple are the guardians of these happy animals.

They will gladly show you around the property, educate you on all things Alpacas, answer questions, and provide you one-on-one time with the animals. (Don't forget your camera.) Don't forget to check-out the Alpaca gift shop!

I attended with a women's group for a social event. This is a you-pick farm where you can cut as…read moremany flowers as you want to fill your cup. While there, we also did flower pounding to make a beautiful card and envelope (see photos). There was a covered area with tables where we were able to sit, eat snacks, and chat. I also noticed a fire-pit and I'd like to bring my grandkids, let them pick flowers, and then spend time relaxing with a picnic lunch or dinner and roast some marshmallows over the fire. The way it works is you scan the QR code, pick up a cup, fill with water, and grab cutters. You can walk up and down the aisles that have various flowers blooming and pick any you like. If you don't have time to pick, there is a grab and go bouquet in the stand. They are open dawn to dusk April - October. I attended a Christmas in July party this past weekend and we were asked to bring a gift from a local vendor. I brought a gift certificate. The person who opened it didn't want to tell anyone what it was for fear it would be stolen! She wanted it for herself. So, if you enjoy flowers (and your special someone does), check out Harvey Family Farm.

I can't wait to use them forever more for my flowers for special occasions and just to have beautiful fresh flowers in my home which brings us joy!!

I wanted to purchase some jams to bring back home (SoFL) so we only visited the gift shop. Specifically, I was in search of T.O.E. Jam. It took a hot minute, but eventually I located it. The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise and a massive jam selection. There are endless gift options available and the folks at the counter were very friendly. I'll definitely return on a future visit and will go when we have more time. I'd love to check out the farm.

The store was a highlight because it had Whole Foods, merchandise, bathroom with changing tables etc. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, so those things are important.
