There were lots of ripe apples of several varieties for us to pick and we filled our basket quickly. Prices for U pick were very reasonable and much less than some other orchards in the area. We stopped to look at the beautiful zinnias and watch the butterflies and bees enjoy them as well. We also bought jam and apple butter and baked goods in the market to bring home for later. I enjoyed a Fuji apple that I had just picked and it was awesome. There is lots for kids and families to do, especially on the weekends. We would definitely return!

While there, we also did flower pounding to make a beautiful card and envelope (see photos). There was a covered area with tables where we were able to sit, eat snacks, and chat. I also noticed a fire-pit and I'd like to bring my grandkids, let them pick flowers, and then spend time relaxing with a picnic lunch or dinner and roast some marshmallows over the fire. The way it works is you scan the QR code, pick up a cup, fill with water, and grab cutters. You can walk up and down the aisles that have various flowers blooming and pick any you like. If you don't have time to pick, there is a grab and go bouquet in the stand. They are open dawn to dusk April - October. I attended a Christmas in July party this past weekend and we were asked to bring a gift from a local vendor. I brought a gift certificate. The person who opened it didn't want to tell anyone what it was for fear it would be stolen! She wanted it for herself. So, if you enjoy flowers (and your special someone does), check out Harvey Family Farm.

I can't wait to use them forever more for my flowers for special occasions and just to have beautiful fresh flowers in my home which brings us joy!!

Not just for Apples!

Let me tell you, this is the place you want to go if you're looking to outfit your place with fall decor, some crazy jack-o-lanterns, or are like me and just like taking pictures of colorful and/or weirdly shaped gourds. Their selection of pumpkins comes in all shapes and sizes, some of which you'd be hard pressed to even lift. You can purchase from their selection of things they've already picked, or venture into their pumpkin patch and lop off a few pumpkins yourself. You're sure to find whatever you are looking for here, as well as a selection of farm fresh vegetables, and all kinds of fruit and veggies preserves for sale. Another worthy stop while you're in the Asheville and Hendersonville area!

Families were enjoying the farm, kids were playing, and there were several swings overlooking the river that made for a beautiful place to sit and unwind. The farm offers a great variety of fresh produce, and the strawberry picking was a huge hit with our kids. Their favorite part was being able to snack on strawberries while picking them--an experience they won't forget! We also purchased some boiled peanuts, which were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But the real star of the visit was the ice cream. It was hands-down the best part of our day and so good that we're already planning to stop by again before heading back home. Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, great products, and fun for the whole family. We highly recommend Darnell's Farm to anyone visiting the area. 100% recommended!
