Happy October!  The days are a little shorter, the air is getting crisp, and the apples are getting ripe!  We've been busy at both orchards preparing for this fall season that we love so much.  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
It's an annual event for so many of you.  This year's Apple Harvest Festival will be held this weekend (October 3rd and 4th) and next weekend (October 10th and 11th). As is tradition, we will offer music, crafts, food, hayrides, and lots of apples to pick!
 
This weekend, you can pick your own Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Stayman, and York.  We'll start Fuji, Winesap, Granny Smith, and Braeburn by next weekend.  Many of you have been asking about Pink Lady, and they are generally ripe around the 4th week in October - so be patient!!!!  
 
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. 
 
The Mountain Grill is our new addition for this season!  Stop by the Grill (located in the Bakery Barn) for breakfast biscuits and lunch foods.  The Grill is open every day in October, and weekends in November.
