On a recent trip to blowing rock NC I visited Apple Hill Orchard and Cider Mill and it was so fun!…read moreThe apple cider and other apple desserts were amazing and the apple orchard was beautiful as well. Walking around the apple orchard gives you a great view of the surrounding mountains and farms. It's also really close to Charlotte, Asheville and Boone/Blowing Rock so the location is incredibly convenient.

We had about 18 of us that were traveling together with the senior adult group from church. I was…read morethe bus driver. They decided they wanted to stop into the Apple Hill Orchard to pick apples. They charge you $3 each if you just want to walk in the orchards and not pick anything. If you want to pick apples they charge you the $3 each to walk around + what you pick. They have a general store you can walk around in and purchase bakery items in. We purchased a bag of Pink Lady Apples that we picked in the orchard, a bag of apples fritters. We had an apple and it was very good! The only negative was when we called and said we were coming they said no problem. When we arrived and they saw we had a bus we got the impression they were too happy because of the limited parking. I parked in the grass area on the side away from the building. No issues. If you do bring a large vehicle here just be prepared there might be limited parking. As a last resort you could park it at the church at the bottom of the hill and walk up.

They were very patient with me and it was a positively transformative experience. I still have not had produce that tastes as flavorful as theirs, and that was 20 years ago.

Stopped for cider....ended up with more!…read more The owners were awesome. I ended up with local cider (there were a couple different kinds), local honey (lots of options) and some mixed berry "batty jam". Also loaded up on sodas and drinks for the family while we headed from Chimney Rock to Black Mountain. There were other souvenirs and local fare, but we hit the road with food to take home instead. I love a good local shop on the side of the road!

The best part was the wood-fired pizza made to order right beside the market, with fresh/local ingredients from the farm. Honestly, it was right up there with the best pizza I've ever eaten. I look forward to returning for another pie next time I visit Asheville.

This review is for their actual farm…read more I couch surfed here and I had an amazing time. The community was very welcoming and friendly. I was given my own private room with a bed along with their energy bars, fruits and a juice. Besides energy bars, they also sell packaged loose or bagged tea, fresh juice, premade teas, and vegetables at the farmers market.

I was warmly welcomed by the owners. I could've sat and talked with them for hours. We got two donuts - a peanut butter cream and an apple pie. Both of them were AMAZING! So good. This place is open until they sell out, so get here early to get your donuts. We got super lucky that some donuts were left for picking. This is a must go place and is worth the drive!

Some friends invited us to come pick and they had amazing blackberries we made into a cobbler as well. The kids had a blast, even after I put them to work. This is a pretty small farm with limited picking hours, but absolutely worth the trip. It's gorgeous up there and it looked like they were having some kind of farmhouse dinner after we left. We'll all keep dreaming about those apples until we make it back to Asheville!
