Happy October!  There's lots of activity at both  orchards during this busy harvest time.  Read on to see what's going on at Carter Mountain and Chiles Peach Orchard this season.
Apple Harvest Festival at
Carter Mountain Orchard 
Enjoy a Day at Carter Mountain
If you missed our festival last weekend, never fear - there's lots of fun still to be had!  We continue to celebrate our harvest this weekend with music, crafts, food, hayrides, and lots of apples to pick!
 
Right now you can pick your own Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Stayman, and Granny Smith.    Beginning this Saturday (10/11) we'll start Fuji, Winesap, York, and Braeburn.  Many of you have been asking about Pink Lady - we are expecting to pick them beginning the last weekend in October.
 
We have lots of ready-picked apples available each day, and when you visit our Country Store, you will find apple butter, apple cider (buy plenty for winter - you can freeze it!), jams and jellies, local crafts, seasonal gifts, and much more. 
  
The Carter Mountain Bakery has expanded, and we are cranking out our famous Apple Cider Donuts faster than ever!  If you've never tried our apple pie or apple caramel cookies, you are missing out!  The bakery is open every day. 
 
We've also opened the Carter Mountain Wine Tasting Room and Wine Shop!  We've been growing wine grapes for several years; now you can taste and purchase these wines!  Free tastings every day.
 
Check out fall decorating supplies - pumpkins, gourds, mums, and indian corn - to get your home ready for fall!
