    What a cool place. My wife and I were in town from Florida for some cooler weather and we stopped in. Someone was serving samples of various apples, which was fun. We sat in the rocking chairs out back and enjoyed the view, then got in line for the tasty apple treats. Stop in, especially if you have kids.

    An all around fabulous apple orchard. Grandad's Apple's website will tell you all about what they offer therefore I won't go into those details. I'll briefly explain why I enjoyed my experience and say a few things about Grandad's that may not be mentioned on the website that I think make it a great place. The parking is plenteous and orderly. Spots are well marked so you aren't confused and it's not chaos. They also have handicap parking right next to the market. They have lots of porta potties. I didn't see handicap accessible toilets so you'd want to check with Grandad's before you visit if someone in your party needs a handicap accessible restroom. There are several areas to sit and take in the scenery or keep and eye on your kids. There is a shelter just outside the market numerous rocking chairs facing overlooking the valley in which the cornmaze sits. There is also seating inside the pumpkin patch. It looks like there is seating down the hill where you shoot the apple cannon. All the available varieties of apples are in crates so you can grab a bag and select any combination of available apples. Pre-bagged apples of the available apples are also available. I really enjoyed going around and selecting from available apple varieties. Each variety is labeled and has a description of its taste and characteristics. There is also an employee who has samples of the varieties for you to sample. One of the products in the market that stood out to me was the canned cider. I've never scene that before. There were so many good apple products available in the market. I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely go back with friends and family to spend more time there.

    Apparently I am not the only one who loves Grandad's Apples as the line for fresh baked goods and apple cider slushies was extremely long! I wanted an apple cider donut or an apple turnover so bad too- but that line! Instead I perused the shop and sampled their apples. The orchards out back are gorgeous with the mountain back drop & I have to say their look with the barn is fun with the cow up top and tractor!

    We have always sworn that Cold Hollow has been our favorite cider mill up in New England but wow! The cider and doughnuts here oh and slushies give it a run for their money. A must stop at this gem for any road trips through Asheville. Worth the detour. Come during apple season and pick some apples too!

    Just like any spooky basic B I love a good pumpkin patch. I have been following Grandads on IG for a bit and was recently in the area so even though it was still hot and not fall weather we still stopped in. It was busy and there was a line for the bakery items but it moved quickly. The cider donuts and the apple caramel cookie were delicious. They have tons of other items as well and the view is worth a stop.

    Grandpa's Apples.  Plenty of parking available.

    Great service for pick your own or prepackaged. Lots more than just apples. Lots of family activities when in season.

    What an awesome place to go and take in some homemade goodies. Every time we go the staff is cordial and the area is clean with ample seating to enjoy your homemade Delight. I did buy some cider beer and we'll update my post when I give it a wing. I do go to another location to pick apples but they do have freshly picked apples available when you go. If you plan a trip in August or September you will be able to see the apple trees in bloom as well as the beautiful sunflowers.

    Without question, Grandad's is my favorite apple orchard in the Southeast! The owners are exceptionally friendly and the array of seasonal offerings is unparalleled. Grandad's features a giant corn maze, a train ride (for littles), a sunflower garden, pumpkin patch, a mini lavender farm, and acres of apple orchards. The mercantile store sells fresh roasted coffee, hand poured candles, jams/jellies, cold apple cider, hard cider, produce, wreaths, decor, etc. In addition, the incredible bakery features warm cider doughnuts, homemade ice cream, apple cider slushies, caramel apple cookies, tarts, and candied apples. On the weekend, a BBQ food truck is also on the premises.

    Apple cider donuts

    Whenever I am in the Asheville area this is a must! The apple cider donuts are my favorite however the dumplings and fried pies are delicious too! I always ask for The hot apple cider donuts and omg they melt in your mouth! They always have the perfect amount of sugar on them and are irresistible!

    Nicole F.

    Came for a couple hours, first started out at the corn maze which unfortunately did not meet expectations, maybe it was because we were 3 adults with no kids, but the maze took all of 10 minutes. $5 each for the corn maze, apple cannons, and cow train or $14 for all 3, cash only! The line for the bakery to get apple cider and donuts gets long quick. We waited 30 minutes in line while the smell of apple cider donuts teased us and our bellies. The donuts were warm and fresh, better the day you buy them, they were soggy the next day. I had a cider donut ice cream sandwich which consisted of vanilla soft serve ice cream in between two donuts, I also got a hot apple cider, and needed a second hand to eat the sandwich so I inhaled it quick before realizing there were picnic tables outside. Their Mountain Glacier dessert (Apple cider slushie, topped with vanilla soft serve ice cream and crumbled caramel apple cider cookies on top) seemed to be quite popular. Very nice farm also had a small patch of sunflowers to enjoy. We purchased a few of their fermented hard apple cider to drink later and it was a dry cider.

    So adorable , scan the code to see the menu for the bakery while you wait!

    This place is amazing! Plenty to do with kiddos, the apple cider and dounts are a must do! The views we so beautiful. Only thing I would say, it isn't that accessible for walkers, or wheelchairs... buy there is a beautiful area to sit and look at the mountains!

    Grandad Apples is favorite visited place for many vacationer at Asheville. It is 40 minutes away from the city. If you come at the right season, you can pick Apple at their farm. Their farm is so popular, the U pick season is short due to high demand. Grandad is not just the Apple attract visitors, they have corn maze there you can spent 30 to 40 minutes to fish the maze. They have children play area for the young. We enjoy our visit due to their fresh make apple pie and turnover. I like the turnover better. I can have a few of them. Don't forget the Apple slush. It is refreshing. At the Apple display area, you can have a try to taste with different types of apples. The area is certainly big. Allow 40 minutes to visit. They do have all kind of apples product.

    This place is a must see especially if you have children. A very well organized space with a beautiful view of a mountain range. Nothing like sitting on a rocking chair overlooking the mountains with a warm apple cider doughnut! There is also a corn maze for a fee and a sunflower and pumpkin patch. They offer a variety of apples, bagged or individual, as well as jams and jellies, honey and gift items.

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!
