Outside, they had vendors setup for a market. The market was adorable and all vendors were so kind. Inside, Grandad's Apples had wonderful snacks, merchandise, and activities.

Grandad's Apples is my favorite orchard in the area to visit. It is located in Hendersonville, NC,…read moreand has a good-sized parking lot. It is family-owned and opened back in 1994. You can pick your own apples or select already-picked apples if you want more varieties to select from. They have some already bagged or you can bag your own. I love that they offer apple slices of all the current varieties so you can figure out your favorites. I was surprised I didn't like the sweetest apples but liked the more tart ones. Besides apples, they have pumpkins. The sunflowers were at the end of their life when I was there, but I was glad I got to see them. The gift shop sells cider and other items, and the bakery has pies, cookies, donuts, slushies, and other goodies. Customer service is friendly, and on the weekends, they have other activities to do. But you can walk to the water and enjoy the views.

Michelle, the owner, called me back immediately and had availability the same day! We had a lovely time visiting with the pigs, goats, chickens and horses. Michelle showed us around the farm and let us feed the goats and chickens (so cute)! We got to pet and feed the horses treats as well. We walked down to a lovely creek-so beautiful and soothing! While the kiddos splashed around I learned about all of the camps and healing workshops that they have available. I can't wait to check them out...exactly what I've been looking for in a beautiful, serene setting! Michelle was so hospitable and we can't wait to go back! Thanks for having us!

If you have NEVER been to any sort of farm this may interest you. We were not impressed and…read morehonestly a little bored. Maybe it was the young female guide that seemed bored to be there. She was a nice girl and was not rude she was just not very informative about the farm - she told us more about a mule passing gas than she did about the history of the farm or the alpacas - many people had to ask questions to get any information. There were alpacas - couldn't touch them that day, there was a pot belly pig, lots of goats, one cow and 2 horses. The tour consisted of more walking around the farm than learning. I'm sorry - I just thought for the amount of time it took to get there and at 20$ per person it would be more informative.

We called that morning and were able to visit at 2:00 PM. They welcomed us and gave us a complete and very informative tour of the farm. We got to meet the alpacas by name and visit the 11-month-old and 4-month-old alpacas with their mothers. We even had the chance to feed and walk with one of them. A huge thank you to the wonderful couple who owns this property for your kindness, patience, and understanding, especially with part of my family who did not speak English, allowing us time to translate. Your property is beautiful, and the alpacas are clearly loved and well taken care of. We will definitely visit again next time we are in this part of the country!

I wanted to purchase some jams to bring back home (SoFL) so we only visited the gift shop. Specifically, I was in search of T.O.E. Jam. It took a hot minute, but eventually I located it. The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise and a massive jam selection. There are endless gift options available and the folks at the counter were very friendly. I'll definitely return on a future visit and will go when we have more time. I'd love to check out the farm.
