Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Mountain Fresh Orchard tracks the rest of North Carolina. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. The window most families aim for is the last two weeks of September into the first two of October, that's when Honeycrisp, Empire, and mid-season varieties usually overlap.
