This is a wonderful place to visit and very easy to get to in Hendersonville. We stopped by the…read morefarm to see about their fresh vegatables. We were pleasantly surprised by the superb quality of their offerings. Their zucchini and squash were flawlessly presented. They had beautiful strawberries by the bucket. Their frozen meat products were plentiful and they had an array of honeys, jams, and relishes. Ice cream is very much on the menu at the farm whether it be on a cone, cup, or in a shake. The best part was going in the back with my wife where she picked wild flowers (no charge), along with sunflowers (huge). I highly recommend visiting the Johnson Family Farm. We were not expecting much when we got there, but left knowing we would return. I hope this helps.

I had a Pinto Bean plate which consisted of pinto beans with cole slaw and mashed potatoes. The beans could have been seasoned a bit more, but with a dash of salt, they were really good. The slaw and potatoes were both really good. Wifey had a Stew Beef plate with fried okra and green beans. She said that all of them were really, really good. I tried them and must say that I fully concur. Pops had a plain hamburger. He said he likes to try plain hamburgers in order to really see how good they do. He REALLY liked the burger! Finally...the Strawberry Pudding...OMG! This is a banana pudding like creation, except that they use Strawberries in place of the bananas. It was the BEST pudding of this sort that I have EVER had! It was so good that we went back later in the day to get more!

And the ambiance was what you would expect from a small farmer indoor produce store. Note: They no longer serve any prepared food like some of the information I found online indicated.

This…read morebusiness sits on a very narrow strip of land between the roadway and the boulder filled mountain creek where chilled water pours down from the higher elevations, it's a tranquil setting and the tree canopy provides a shady bank to sit among the massive rocks and listen to nature, depending on the time of the year a passing car may be slightly distracting but those unnatural noises are easily tuned out. You can also rent a picnic table for a dollar an hour if you've packed a lunch or just want to take a break. The old gentleman attending store here passes his time greeting the visitors from his rustic rocking chair near the front entrance he probably won't stand unless there's something to ring up on the antique cash register and it's definitely a cash only business - I noticed a old refrigerator containing tall bottles of pops, the sweat on the glass door seemed so inviting so I grabbed a cold bottle of Mountain Dew and paid the two bucks and threw in an extra dollar for his trouble after he popped the top with the backside of an old church key opener. He mumbled something about having to raise the price to pay for the refrigeration, I nodded and didn't challenge his comment as I put the glass bottle to my lips and turned it upwards. What appeared to be a antique bottle turned out to have glass threads so I guess the distributor has yet to inform him the bottles are all twist tops so I didn't feel I should be the one to break his nostalgic gesture of popping the top although finding this out it did temper my childhood memories a bit. This building is old and it appears it's been expanded over the years although it definitely wasn't last year - this wooden structure seems sound and a nice place to escape the sun and provides adequate protection for the fruits and vegetables. I walked around the areas that were accessible and avoided those areas that seemed to filled with decades of junk and were structurally challenged. I like these kind of places and I think they have a lot of historic value and I don't know the plan when this old man calls it a day but I'm sure it will not be the same. The selection of apples is minimal, I'm sure he buys a few boxes at a time from the local growers they looked okay and I don't know anything about pricing it may be a bargain but not sure what a bag of apples goes for in the area. It was a great place to stop and visit but probably not one I'd frequent even if I lived right down the road...

We were taking a drive along the blue ridge then decided to head into Lake Lure. We found a cute post office in Bat Cave, NC. Once you get to the post, continue driving towards Lake Lure and you will find this place a short distance down the road on the right hand side. They have apple butter, honey, apples, and a variety of other items. The setting is park like along the broad river. You can pay to park there and hang out by the river for the day, or pay by the hour $1 for picnic table use. Parking is free for customers and you can walk down and look at the river/ take pictures and leave for free, but if you linger for too long, parking fees are wanted. This is a quaint shop and the tree covered benches is a great place to stop and have a picnic. Well worth the $1 if you're on a road trip!

The corn that I had also wanted to get looked really bad, so my husband asked the man running the place how long he had had the corn. Today is Thursday. Initially the man said "Since Thursday." Then he changed his mind and said Tuesday...and he surely should have said a week ago Tuesday, that's how cruddy it looked. He also seemed very snarky about my husband picking through the cantaloupes and smelling the corn. When I checked out, he said "$50.26." I paid with my debit card and failed to get a receipt. He actually charged me $63.26 according to my bank. There has been a very nice lady behind the counter before but this guy was rude and overcharged me.

You must stop by to get their fruits, slushies, and hand pies in season. Spring: Strawberries, strawberry slushies, and strawberry hand pies. Summer: Peaches, peach slushies, and peach hand pies. The peach slushies taste like you are drinking a frozen form of a peach, and my favorite of the three! Fall: Apples, apple slushies, and apple hand pies. They have other fruits and veggies, but those are the main ones to stop for. They also have several jams and jellies, ice cream, and a few other baked goods. They are always friendly, too! So worth the stop and not too far from I-26.

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.

I ended up going into the store, and the gentlemen said he would get it tomorrow and he would call when it was in. This was two days ago, and I still don't have a call back. I'm a bit upset the service has been so poor because the meat looks awesome and I've heard good things, but I've had to find another go to butcher.
