We also shared an apple slushie-no added sugar or water! Just perfect for cooling off in this hot weather. They also had fresh peaches and apples.

If you come late in the season or want other apple types you can fill up any left over space in your bag at the barn. We recommend the apple cider slushie and taking a walk down to the animal barn to see the gorgeous birds!

This bridge, like many, apparently outlived its usefulness as a conveyance, but was turned into a…read moresort of park. The greenery covering the area is quite robust and a lot of effort clearly went into designing and maintaining it. At one end, a spot for people to hang collars up to memorialize their dogs demonstrates that apparently visitors here like tiny yippy dogs a lot more than I do, but it is still a nice touch. When I visited, they were working on building a visitor center and parking was limited (one end is a separate business whose parking lot is devoted solely to that business as designated by numerous angry signs). However, a water fountain and portapotties were still available. This isn't a place where you'd spend an enormous amount of time, but it is well done and certainly worth a look, and there is no charge to cross.

This is a beautiful stop if in the area. There are multiple varieties of flowers and plants with…read moreplaces to sit and enjoy the beauty. The rainbow bridge in memory of all the lost pets is breathtaking and so sweet to see. There is Free parking at both ends of the bridge

Gabrielle has an uncanny ability to lead you through all the confusion and chaos right to the core of what you want, what you value, and what you stand for. Becoming a mom can feel like losing yourself, and Gabrielle has - gently but firmly - helped me to reclaim who I am and has, without a doubt, made my life better.

We love Doctor Ellie !!! My husband & I moved to Asheville this past July & had our baby girl in…read moreJune. Finding a pediatrician was one of our top priorities & it took us quite some time. I can be pretty particular, especially being a first time mom & picky with this industry at times. She has a holistic approach to things but is a fully qualified doctor who can & will prescribe medicine when needed. I've learned so much from her in just these past few months that we've been her patients & we can tell she truly cares about our daughter, nothing is rushed & she really takes the time & makes an effort. She even has a work phone number you can reach her on through text, & she always gets back to you in a timely manner. After the holidays, our baby got sick & we were in the ER. Since then, she has been reaching out, checking in on us, fit us in for an appointment in less than 24 hour notice, & has just been so so helpful. Her patient portal is so easy to use too. You can see all of the plans she has for you, everything that was discussed in your visit, any subscriptions, upcoming appointments & direct messages with her. It's super user friendly & convenient. Not to mention, she is so sweet & kind. I'm just so happy we found a doctor we really trust & love. It can be really hard to do so, at least in my personal experience. Look no further if you're debating a pediatrician who will care for your child & support you in your choices & thoughts.

Every single visit since she was born has been thoughtful, professional, and inviting. Dr. Ellie always goes above and beyond to make sure my husband and I have all our questions answered (via email or in person) and that we feel seen and supported. She treats our daughter as if she's her own. I also love how committed Dr. Ellie is to getting important information out... whether it's her courses, podcast, or email newsletter; she goes above and beyond for her patients and community. I could not suggest Dr. Ellie enough!

The place is easy to get around, normal walking through the orchards. There's a couple of porta-Johns on sight. They have pre-picked-boxed Asian Pears for sale. Also, some other items for sale, like bottled water, and pear juice, shirts, hats, some fried pies, etc. As I understand they've held the same price for 2-years for picking (by the pound), which in these Inflationary times / administration that is really helpful. I admire the thought that went into this niche and nice business. Great folks working there, and they know the area, so, if you're looking for another place to eat or go visit, they have suggestions. We got there early, right at opening, so we had 'picking-sticks' (Kind of look like Lacross sticks ) and carts to use. We heard some talking as we were leaving (over 2 hours later) wish there were more sticks available. We just gave them ours as we were paying and leaving. Go Catamounts!

It's open to the public, and they love volunteers, so check out their website to see how you can get connected. Once you do get connected, you'll want to be sure to check back frequently throughout the growing and harvest seasons because they do change up crops, and different crops need to be harvested at different times. Currently they're growing raspberries, blackberries, passion fruit, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, herbs, kale, and lots more. Pro tip: If you're a veteran, you can harvest to your heart's content! Bring scissors for the best care of the plants. Pro tip 2: Check their schedules because they have a doctor onsite for veterans and their families for free! Depending on need, the doc can prescribe herbal remedies using medicine-grade herbs grown onsite!
