SUMMARY:Apple Festival
DESCRIPTION:Big news!  Our Apple Festival is expanding to two weekends this fall. \nSave the date for October 2 to 4 and October 9 to 11\, 2026\, and make plans to join us for fresh apple treats\, family fun\, and all the fall traditions you love. \nWe can’t wait to celebrate with you. More festival details are coming soon! \nOur hillside orchard has more than 7\,000 trees in several different varieties—and we get a little help from our neighbors.\n\nUnlike most apple-growing areas\, our region’s temperature fluctuations give our apples an extra punch of flavor. The folks who visit us every year love our “mountain apples”—in fact\, we can’t grow enough to make all of the cider\, pies and apple butter that our customers want. That’s why we work with neighboring farms to bring you the best of local flavors and stay true to our Appalachian roots. At the Apple Barn\, we believe in providing the best local products we can find.
