The Fraser fir, America's favorite Christmas tree, is native only to the southern Appalachian Mountains. Nearly three-quarters of the world's natural growing Fraser firs live in the highlands of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Even though these trees have been decimated by the non- native balsam woolly adelgid, young trees continue to thrive in the park and isolated populations of mature firs continue to bear cones and reproduce.

The legacy of maple syrup making in the Smokies is reflected in many local place names, such as Maple Syrup Gap, The Sugarlands, Sugarland Mountain, and Sugar Orchard Gap.

This 100% pure maple syrup is bottled just for us with no additives. It's an absolutely delicious reminder of a simple and vigorous time and place!

Until you try them, you will not believe how delicious these spiced peaches are with ice cream or in cobbler. They're prepared using an old time recipe that allows the natural summer flavor of the fruit to shine through.

Bountiful orchards were very common in the Smokies during the 19th and early 20th century. Farmers grew a staggering variety of apples, peaches, cherries, and other fruits.

A great way to keep Smoky Mountain history alive!
