About Carter Mountain Orchard and Country Store

Carter Mountain Orchard and Country Store is a wonderful place to visit with friends. The friendly and helpful staff create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the experience. The scenic drive to the orchard is beautiful, making the trip enjoyable. The store is clean and has a variety of great products to explore, with an impressive selection. Visitors can pick available apples and peaches or buy already picked fruit. The retail store offers a variety of items, and the website provides useful information for planning a visit. The orchard is well managed, and the beautiful views to the east and west add to the charm. The summer sunset series is a highlight, offering a chance to sample the entire collection. The apple cider is a must-try—it’s absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Don't miss the apple cider doughnuts, as they are perfection! Visitors can also enjoy a warm apple cider/wine cocktail or an apple cider slushy. The staff is very knowledgeable and offers great recommendations. For those looking beyond apple cider, sweet peach wine and other options are available. Getting there is easy via a nice winding road, and parking is ample. The orchard is a great place to hang out for the afternoon, especially if visited early around 10:30 or 11:00 to avoid crowds. Be cautious of strong winds and parking challenges, but the view from the farm is spectacular. If in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out for both the experience and fantastic products!
