Carter's Mountain Orchard was a very nice stop, but be sure to wear comfortable shoes. It took quite a while and lots of walking to find some good apples, however they do have "picking poles" available to help you get the ones high up on the trees! The wine tasting room at this location is pretty much useless. We stopped... more

Decided to drive up the mountain for the scenic view on my way to Ash Lawn earlier this month, and purchased a slice of peach pie for an evening treat. After tasting it, I wished I gotten a whole one. Just delicious! There are many other items for purchase as well, mostly made from apples or peaches, as well as... more

WONDERFUL!

This place is wonderful! To watch the amazement in my child's eyes, when he was able to pick an apple from a tree, was bliss. It is beautiful at the top of this mountain.

Even though I drive past the entrance every day on my way to work, I’d never been here during the summer, so I dropped by recently on a Friday morning around 10:30 a.m. and was pleasantly surprised that it was 5 to 10 degrees cooler than downtown, and uncrowded. On autumn weekends when apple-picking is at its peak, it can... more

This is our second trip to CARTER MOUNTAIN ORCHARD. Last year we went on a cold October day and the warm apple cider and the apple cider doughnuts were delightful. We talked about it all year and couldn't wait to go back this Fall. It was again a wonderful experience. The views are spectacular. The apples are delicious. The apple... more
