Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Red Belly Farms tracks the rest of West Virginia. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.
Fall festival weekends can double the crowd overnight, so it's worth checking the orchard's social feed the day before you go. Off-festival weekdays are typically wide open.
