Delicious apples friendly Bakery amazing apple Turn overs yummy. Apples cider donuts, and oatmeal apple cookies great!! Smells like heaven

We stopped in while bringing the kiddo back to school at WCU and it just so happened to be the first day of Applebees cider donut season!!! The line for donuts was long but the folks in the bakery section worked their butts off to keep the line moving. Only issue was we ordered 8 donuts and a few other items ( cookies, fritters) but realized when we got home we only had 3 donuts, huge disappointment because they were the best donuts ever!! Everything else was delicious as well. They have fruits and veggies for sale in the other area of the store, tons of options and amazing prices( cherries $2lb, squash 1.69lb etc) they also have shelves full of different jams,jellies, apple butters, honey etc ! Staff were restocking and cleaning the entire time we were there so the place is clean as well. They were running out of some of the produce, mostly berries, by the time we left but with amazing prices like that it's certainly expected. read more

So happy Barber's is open again for the season. Stopped in this morning and picked up one of their delicious blueberry pies, some apple fritters and assorted cookies. Everything in their bakery is always great. Pies, fritters, turnovers, muffins, donuts etc...and cider slushies. Something for everyone. Plenty of fresh produce to choose from as well. There's usually a wait at the bakery, but the very friendly staff keeps it moving along. read more

I'm not sure why other people were having issues with service because when we went, we were treated well. The employees are probably tired and even on a weekday it was pretty busy. I imagine they are probably fed up dealing with crotchety self righteous old people (who seem like the largest population of patrons). They had some really awesome bakery items and we got a half gallon of cider for a really great price. The donuts are absolutely delicious and I highly recommend getting some - I enjoyed the fritter as well, but preferred the donuts. My boyfriend also tried the chocolate chip, peanut butter, and macadamia cookies and thought all of them were great, but especially loved the peanut butter one. Honestly, they have some great prices for it being all homemade, made from scratch. Lots of pie options and even jarred jams and butters as well- easy parking and accessible Like a mini farmers market in one spot. I recommend a visit and get some apple cider!! read more

The best fresh apples. The bakery is hard to resist! The wonderful smell draws you into an amazing display of baked goods. The apple spice donuts I can't leave without ONE! read more

The products are great but the staff are not very nice most of the time. It's fall and stopped by to get some apple donuts and apple fritters which are consistently good. Also decided to get a apple cider slush. So yum! Will still return even though the staff would be a reason not to. read more

UPDATE: all the employees are rude. It's not just the bakery side. Went to grab some apples, and I dared to ask the young female cashier with glasses a question about the apples and got an eye roll. Why so miserable? You are surrounded by happy people buying apple cakes and fruit, how bad could it be? read more

I read about this place while just searching for things to do in the area of Waynesville. It was close to the antique mall so we decided to swing over. It was about one in the afternoon and the bakery line was about 30 people deep. We decided to leave and come back earlier the next morning Since it did smell fantastic in there. we ended up buying a few apple cider donuts, an apple cookie, and an apple loaf. Also had to grab some fresh apple cider. Everything was extremely delicious. When I'm in the area again, I will definitely return! read more

Their bakery items are delicious . The apple cider donuts are incredible. The apple turnovers & pies are so good! I think they need a little updating in their service area , but it was worth the wait. read more

They have some good stuff but ZERO customer service so if you're not happy with something just go complain to a brick wall.

The bakery here is amazing. The treats are absolutely delicious and fresh. The staff is friendly and helpful.

This is a first rate establishment. Their no fresh apples, other produce are great. But also apple turnovers, apple fritters, apple loafs and cakes are delicious. The best to me were the apple muffins! They are like mini apple cakes with an especially tasty glaze. If you are nearby, make sure you stop. read more

They have AMAZING apple cider donuts, apple cider, local honey and apple butter! We can't wait to go back.

They certainly have a plethora of apple varieties. I brought a peck and each one was perfect! Apple cider and apple cider donuts are just amazingly delicious! But the PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE is their Mountain Fruit pie. Trying it...?I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The best pie I've had. Honestly, when you're in the area, you've got to stop. read more

The baked goods are worth the trip. The cider donuts are my favorite. The cookies, fritters, turnovers, muffins, and apple loaves are amazing. Get there before they sell out. They also have a nice produce stand and very good local apples and local apples. read more

As more or more family-owned apple orchards close, it is reassuring to know that Barber is still there. What a wonderful selection of apples and other locally grown produce, and then there is the bakery. Our favorite apple variety is the Evercrisp followed closely by the Mountain Pippin, and it is a comfort to know that we can always find them at Barber. Oh, the apple turnovers from the bakery, and then the apple loaf. My oh my, this place is a treasure. read more

What a lovely stop full of fresh fragrances, highlighted by the sweet sent of baked goods. We had a lovely chat with the farmer & his young son about NC weather and how they harvest different varieties of apples starting in August. Order your fritters ahead...the line was out the door (although it moves fast, those at the front said they'd only been waiting 5-10 minutes) Mix & Match a 1/2 or full peck of 6 or 8 different apples. We're also trying locally harvested AND CLEANED Black Walnuts for the first time read more

Delicious cider, cider slushee and friendly service. Lots to choose from. We bought a big bag of honey crispy apples to bring back home along with 2 gallons of cider for family and friends. They have their beautiful apple orchards across from the little shop and a few picnic tables out front. J don't like the apple doughnuts though - I highly recommend skipping those. read more

We called Barber Orchards before going and the young lady that answered the phone said their apples are organic so we drove from GA to NC to get some apples from them. We bought a smaller bag and a big sized bag from them and when we got home, I went to wash some to eat and one of the apples had a sticker on it and it's not organic! Liars! Liars! Liars! We even bought baked goods from them because they said they use the same fresh apples... they should be closed down for lying to people about their produce being organic! read more

Love this place. The apple cider donuts and fritters and apple cider are amazing! So delicious!!

Huge selection of fresh apples and fresh baked goodie's . Visited on a Thursday afternoon and it was very busy.

If you like apples, you have to stop here in the fall. My wife loves Rome apples and they are hard to find. She bought half a bushel here and raves about them. This is a popular place. In addition to apples, it has seasonal fruits and vegetables, jams/Jellys, and a killer bakery. If you're in the area, you'll want to stop here. read more

Great apple EVERYTHING - apple turnovers, large pies, donuts, fritters, cookies, cake. Best around pies of all kinds. Bunch of great fresh produce. read more

Barber Orchards Fruitstand - Bakery area. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Waynesville, North Carolina

A nice fruit stand right off the main road. This location is easy to get to from the main road (The Great Smoky Mountain Highway). You turn south onto Balsam road and the Fruit Stand is about 200 feet from the turnoff. There is plenty of parking across Balsam road and in front of the large roadside sign advertising the stand. There was a large long building with a warehouse at the east end and a small store at the west end and near the road. The warehouse section has containers where you can fill up your own bags of various types of apples. The closest part to the road is a store. When I arrived there was a line of about 30 people in the line leading into the store. When you reach the counter you can order all sorts of great food like apple fritters, pies, loaves, donuts, and more. There is a menu along the counter and back wall. The various items were pricey but good. The staff was efficient and friendly. There was a long line when we got there and a long line when we left. The food was delicious and well worth the price. I highly recommend this as a stop if you are in the area. read more

We were visiting Maggie valley for the Thanksgiving holiday. I found Barber's on Facebook a few weeks before and decided to visit them while we were there. Purchased apples, apple pie, apple turnovers and apple fritters. Wow were the baked goods phenomenal! Especially the pie. We hope to retire in the area in a few years and will definitely be back for our apple fix! read more

Barbers Orchard did apple cider donuts for our daughter's wedding on the 26th of October as part of our dessert table. WOW delicious, but we knew that because we had tried them a year prior. We knew we had to get some for the wedding. Our guests raved about them and a few guests actually stopped by on their way out of town to get more along with other baked goods. Professional from the first phone call we made to pickup. This was on the heels of a devastating flood event in the area, but these guys didn't miss a beat! At some point in the evening, this mother of the bride looked and had to run over to the table or she wouldn't have gotten one, there were only 4 left. Melt in your mouth delicious, packaged up nicely, great job! read more

Excellent locally produced fruit - excellent bakery - would stop there again! Their Apple Cider donuts are fantastic!

We were really excited to visit Barber Orchard's. Since we live in Florida we do not have apple orchards in our area. Barber got great reviews and we couldn't wait to visit and buy some apples. The shop was neat and organized. The employees were very friendly and helpful. We ended up buying an apple donut, apple bread (cake), and a peck of red delicious apples. Well, the donut and the cake were fantastic! Unfortunately the apples themselves were not good. They tasted grainy and we had to throw away a half dozen because they were rotten inside. It's very disappointing that they would sell apples like those to customers. If it were only a few "bad apples" I wouldn't mind. However, they were ALL grainy and unpleasant to eat. read more

Very good choice of apples. Honey Crisps throughout season!!! The bakery is awesome with apple donuts, fritters, pies, cakes and juices and jellies! Incredible. Lots of fruit and vegetable options too. The only disappointment was when I opened the HoneyCrisp bushel I bought, it was about a peck short of an actual bushel!!! Buy in the broken down bags instead of full bushel box. Would have been a 5 star if not for that. Staff were very friendly read more

I'm not a big donut person, but I go out of my way to come here for their apple cider donuts. We love their donuts, fritters, and apple cider. We grab several of the 1/2 gallons of cider and freeze it to enjoy later. Worth the trip! read more

Apples. That is what you will get here, along with a multitude of others items. You can get apples by the bushel or just one. The building is a warehouse that is 3 different sections. The left side has pallets of apples and you can get them in bags, 1/2 bushels or bushels. The middle section is filled with produce(whatever is in season) and various other sundries(jams, jellies, etc.). The right side is by far my favorite area. That is where they sell delicious baked goods. They have cookies, donuts, pies, cakes, turnovers, loaves, cider, among other things. Unfortunately for my waistline, I can personally attest that the donuts, apple loaves and turnovers are delicious. Just be aware that the line for baked goods can get long sometimes. If you happens to be traveling down 74/23/Great Smoky Mountain Hwy, do yourself a favor and take a few minutes and take a look around. read more

Locally produced apples of many varieties at the stand from their Orchard that is nearby. Great prices...$8 for a half bushel of McIntosh apples. They have a fantastic bakery too,,,with apple turnovers, bread, pies, fritters, and some fresh veggies. Sorry but... How bout them apples!!!!!!!! Going back to get Winesaps today! read more

Everything is so fresh! The colors of the fruits and vegetables were amazing and everything tasted great! You got to walk around and pick out what your wanted, and they had a small area that was a bakery; selling apple cider, apple fritters and donut, cookies and more. What an experience! Definitely recommend coming here early so to beat the crowd, a lot of locals love this place and now I do too. read more

Best apple pie around . Krispy Kreme version of apple pie . This place never disappoints, but be ready to know what you want

I have been driving on the Smokey Mountain Parkway since my son played football against Western Carolina University. We love the town of Waynesville, North Carolina. I woke up and wanted some dark fresh apples and my husband suggested we drive to North Carolina. We enjoyed driving to the front door of this quaint old orchard which was established in 1932. There were winter squash, giant cabbages, corn, all kinds of canned goods, a bakery with delicious fried apple pies and all the apples you could imagine. We purchased a peck bag of wine saps and 1/2 peck bag of mutsu. I cannot wait to make homemade apple butter and applesauce and decide which apple is best. This is a classic old orchard! read more

This is THE place in Haywood county for apples and apple products. I bought my usual once a year Apple pie and 1/2 gallon of apple cider. These are a staple around here. This year we added some apple fritters to the bill. They do not disappoint! Already got into the fritters! They also sell apples by the 1/2 and full bushel. There are more types of apples that I never heard of that they grow and sell there. You will agree with me when you go there. read more
