Justus Orchard was always my daddy's favorite apple orchard. We stopped in during the fall while visiting Hendersonville and were not disappointed. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We bought a peck of apples and they were amazing. The doughnuts and frozen apple cider were both so good. We will definitely be back next fall! read more

Great place to go with a group or just yourself. Always friendly and helpful. Apples are always good

We were so impressed with our trip today. We brought our puppy with us and he was excited to walk through the orchards, meet other pups, and have yummy apple slices and treats. The orchard has a stand where you can try before you select, which led to us getting more varieties than we planned on. The staff were all cordial and kind in answering questions. I definitely have a new favorite in the cider slushy. It's amazing. read more

Despite having had a home in the area for 15 years, we got off of our typical path and made our way to Justus Orchard. What a delight! The facilities were nice and clean and there was something for everyone (u-pick, they-pick, a backery, a taproom and plenty for the children and young at heart to do! We had a wonderful time and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and engaging. We look forward to returning with friends and family in tow! read more

Absolutely everything! Great apples , hot apple pies with a dip of vanilla ice cream just seals the trip .

Wonderful place. What's better than Apple Cider Donuts?! Very friendly, accommodating and comfortable. A must visit! read more

Awesome place! Great doughnuts and fritters. Children will like visiting. There are many activities for the whole family. Everyone is friendly! We even met Chris Justus' parents (WYFF 4) and they were working right along with everyone else. It's a relaxing environment and we enjoyed picking the apples. I'm so glad that the storm didn't destroy the property. We went for my birthday weekend 10/12/24 and there were plenty of apples. We also came home with apple butter, salsa, jelly, etc. Great weekend activity! read more

Perfect way to spend a few hours. Rocking chairs overlooking the orchard-wonderful apple goodies! Fried apple pies and fritters that remind me of what my grandma made. Apples were fresh and delicious! Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend read more

Simply a wonderful place to collect your apples during apple season. Whether you are looking to pick them yourself, or buy a bag full of pre-picked goodness, they have a huge variety of different types fresh picked and ready to go. They also sell plenty of farm standards such as vegetables, preserves, and other fall goodies. The highlight here though is the freshly made items, made with their apples. You can get apple turnovers, fritters, pies, donuts, cider, cider slushies, basically anything that you can think of with an apple component. They have it. I ordered a couple of apple cider donuts and WHOA. These might have been the best donuts I have ever had, no cap. They were warm, fluffy but just a tad on the doughy side (perfect), packed full of rich apple flavor and just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar to balance. I should have taken home an entire dozen for later. I also got to try a bit of apple pie and a sip of a frozen cider slushie, both of which i recommend based on your tastes. I'm convinced that with the quality of their apples and generations of refining their recipes, there is no way you won't be pleased with your selections. The apples we took home, all sweet and delicious. Perfect crunch and texture. Not a bad apple in the bunch. If you are going apple picking in the NC mountains, this is your destination! read more

My family and I had a great time at Justus Orchard. There are plenty of activities for children of all ages. They have a playground, jump pads, a basketball hoop game, targets to shoot with apples, and more. You pay a reasonable price for select activities. They have a gift shop, food truck, a family friendly bar area with different flavor ciders and live music. There were plenty of apple tress to pick and choose from. The views around Justus Orchard are gorgeous! Dog friendly as well. Justus Orchard will keep your family entertained all day. My family and I loved our visit and will return next year! read more

A fun place for apples. And the food truck was exceptional. The cider was perfect. The Apple fritters were not my favorite thing. Next time I will try the Apple dumplings. read more

Came for apple picking and it was such a great experience! We came on a weekday so some of the activities weren't running but the fact that they have a fenced-in playground is wonderful for little kids! They have a lot of covered seating too which is great! We came 2nd week of September and, unfortunately were limited to picking 1 peck of apples because they said their u-pick trees were running low. That was probably the only downside. Otherwise, definitely worth the visit! read more

Friendly & clean are the two words that first come to mind. Although the apples for the season had switched over to "we pick," we didn't mind a bit. The little country store where they have their baked goods and the "we pick" apples had plenty of apples to choose from. We stopped by the tasting table and had the opportunity to try a few varieties of apples: Cameo, Pink Lady and an Arkansas Black apple. All were good, but we ended up going with the Cameo as it was our favorite and not an apple we'd had before (we love to try something new!) Of course, we couldn't leave without trying their baked goods. We ordered an Apple Fritter, some Cinnamon Apple Donuts and a couple of the Apple Hand Pies. All warm and all delicious! We enjoyed two cups of ice cold cider as well to cap it off. All enjoyed on the side porch picnic tables. What a treat! Highly recommend. We will be back! read more

This orchard is a must visit if you're in the Greenville, SC or Asheville, NC area. We've been coming here yearly as a family and introducing our friends to this family friendly establishment. Bring a picnic or buy a picnic on site. Enjoy a fresh apple off the tree, for desert. There are so many activities for the little ones, they'll be sure to be tired out after a day out at this beautiful orchard. read more

Another good way to hop in the car, be outside, and away from crowds. Bad part is we just missed apple picking season. But certainly would like to come back when the season returns and it warms up. Able to try the warm apple donuts.... AMAZING!!! Ended up buying a half dozen. read more

Best apple turnovers ever. Delicious. Great staff. Of all of the orchards, this is my favorite.

This orchard had lots of things for adults and kids to do! When we pulled in kids were jumping on the big jump dome and having a blast! We were greeted as we entered and asked if we had any questions. The nice lady told us how the apples were sold and suggested a mountain cabbage. She said something about growing them in the side of the amounts in makes them sweet... so I had to buy one. These things were huge.... The one I got was about 10 pounds!! The apple house was packed as people were trying to check out with only one register open. The line was very long and we had to wait for about 15 minutes to pay for our order. This is a great orchard to visit with children and they have a great bakery! read more

Tomorrow is the last day of their season. Bought 1/2 BU of Romes and Pink Lady's. Beautiful apples, no crummy smaller ones in the bottom of the bags. Reasonable pricing, very friendly and informative service. Definitely going back in early October 2022 for their baked goods, maybe some BBQ on a weekend. And definitely for more apples. High marks, lovely facility and beautiful, well kept orchards. read more

We drive up here from Simpsonville Sc multiple times a year! Definitely worth the drive:) read more

This was my first visit to Justus' Apple Orchard. I'm in Hendersonville, NC almost every Saturday, Justus is eleven miles from my location. It was a nice scenic drive out to the Apple Orchard. Some of the scenery reminded me of Amish country in Ohio. I visited last Saturday and they only had Golden Delicious, Early Fuji and Honey Crisp picked. Macintosh apples weren't ready, the apples I wanted.The bathroom facilities are two portable bathrooms. They also have the Apple cider donuts, fresh apple cider and slushes. It was a nice visit, but my favorite orchard of the two I've visited is Sky Top. I ended up going to Sky Top because the Macintosh apples aren't in yet at Justus Apple Orchard. I did buy half a dozen of Apple cider donuts, I think those are better too at Sky Top. It's a nice Orchard, just out of the way for me, driving back to South Carolina on highway 25. read more

Nice place. Kid friendly with the bounce area and U-pick apples. Good Apple products like donuts, fritters and pies. Hershey's Ice Cream. They had only 4 different varieties of apples when I was there. The Fugi apples we bought ($12 half peck) taste better than they look although a bit on the hard side. The orchard is off the beaten path a bit which helps with the crowds but for me , Grandads has better produce, better variety of apples and more for the kids to do with a petting area, pumpkin patch and corn maze. read more

Cute little family friendly apple farm. There were a lot of different activities and a little playground area for kids. My husband and I picked apples and pears. It was our first apple picking experience and we both enjoyed it. The barn area and shop were cute with a lot of different apple items for sale. We also tried the apple cider slushies and they were delicious! read more

This place is just beautiful; great family activity. The Pick Ur Own blackberries are paid by honor system; pay for your container and start picking blackberries. The bush height was low enough for toddlers to pick their own berries. Also there is large pond with some ducks and also goats and peacocks adjacent to the blackberries that is fun for little ones as well. There was enough place for everyone to be socially distanced. Great place! read more

We had a great time at the orchard. It took us about 45 min from the Greenville area, and we spent about 2 hours there - and we didn't even make it to the animals. This place was so fun with kids - wore them out playing and picking apples. The cider donuts were really good, but the fritters were heavenly... and warm. Omg. And definitely get a slushee. The bounce pillow and train ride are a few dollars extra. Prices on apples are super reasonable. We just started eating our way through them, and the honey crisp are delicious. This is the only orchard we have been to so don't have a point of comparison, but it wasn't overly crowded, and there were plenty of apples at kid-height to pick with a lovely view. We will go back! read more

Definitely worth the drive!! This is now our annual mountain getaway trip and priority number one is visiting Justus before anything else. Love everything about this orchard. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Warm apple donuts alone are worth the trip - trust me, get them and stand in line for them, you won't regret that decision. Always bring home a variety of apples. Check their ripening/picking schedule online before you go to see what js available based on your needs. Thank you for continuing to allow us to make wonderful memories there as this tradition will continue on when we have kids. read more

How bout dem apples! This was my first time picking apples and I had a great time despite the rain. Justus Orchard is a fun, family place to get out and have a good time picking some apples. They have a variety of apples and tons of trees. You can pick the apples from the tree or you can pick apples from the bins where they've already picked the apples for you. You pay per the peck and they have different sized pecks. They different size pecks very in price. They provide you with all the equipment you'll need: wagon, basket, long pole picker and pecks. After you're finished picking your apples, you can enjoy some delicious apple treats in their cafe. They have hot and cold cider, apple donuts, fried apple pie and apple fitters. You can also purchase these items along with various jams, chow chow and dough mixes. read more

Not a mask worn by anyone! Not the employees, not the patrons. Don't waste your time. We literally pulled in and pulled right back out. What the! read more

We went for the first time and it was fun! There were plenty of apples to choose from. We picked a few of our own off of the trees and some from their bins that they had available. You have to order their apple cider doughnuts, fried apple pie and fresh cider. So fresh, not artificially sweet and delicious! Great place to spend the day and enjoy the beautiful scenery! read more

I've never been to an orchard before, but I will never go back to store-bought apples. Not only are they cheaper, it's fun and you learn a lot about apples. I don't even like buying my apples at farmers' markets! I've gone twice now, once on a sunny day with my basket and once on a rainy day where I rushed a little bit more. My first adventure was a couple of hours where I sampled apples as I walked around, enjoyed learning about which ones were ready for picking, ate an apple cider doughnut or two, and enjoyed the smell of BBQ and the view of a hayride. I can't wait to do that next time though. They remembered me the second time. This time, there weren't as many apples on the trees so I got my basket filled but also bought some pre-picked ones. They have pumpkins ready and in the fall, they will have barbeque and hayrides. Growing up in the suburbs, I'm glad I can enjoy such adventures though if you grew up here, I bet it's not as great. read more

We've been enjoying this orchard for about three years now, and love it! We can get AMBROSIA Apples, which are hard to find! We brought our son and grandson last year, and now I think it could become a family tradition! There are activities for kids, a little kiddie "train ride," a jumping pit, long handled apple grabbers, wagons to pull/push, and all the food is delicious. MUST TRY! read more

This place is awesome! The people are SUPER friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The apple cider donuts are delicious. The apple cider slushies are also amazing. My daughter asked for one, and I said "no" at first, because most slushies are just sugar water. The staff then informed me that their slushies are made with only apples, and no added sugar. So we bought one. After a few slurps, we went back and got one more for mom and one more for dad. We did the "u-pick", and the orchard was easy to navigate. The apples themselves were plentiful, of high quality, and like everything else here -- delicious. The varieties that we picked were Mutsu, Golden Delicious, and Jonagold. If I lived closer, I would come here every week during harvest season. If you live close, enjoy it! -Green with Envy in Greensboro read more

Blackberry picking and Apple picking. Very nice orchards with activities and apple pastries! Family friendly!

Justus Orchard is a little off the main road where many of the other apple orchards/farms are, but it is well worth the extra 10 minute drive to get there! Even in late October they still had plenty of "pick your own apples" available. Their apple pie was the highlight of our trip to North Carolina -- not overly sweet. It was so good that we bought another one! read more

This is probably our favorite orchard in the area. It's kid friendly (they just built a new playground), the apples are good, and the donuts/fritters/desserts are great! There is plenty of parking, some of which is shaded. There is also plenty of seating for those interested in bringing a picnic lunch and then enjoying the desserts while your kids play. Highly recommend this place! read more

Our family had a great time! My only regret was not grabbing some more cider for my son and some donuts!

Amazing warm apple fritters! Also enjoyed the cider, apple cider doughnuts, and apple pie with our family on a recent trip.
