π This week, the weather has been absolutely perfect for apple picking near Asheville, NC.
Tom's favorite: Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock.
π° Think gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountain views, the cutest farm animals, U-pick apples, a playground, apple cannons, c***r slushies, warm donuts, hard c***r, a bee train, and more. We go every year.
β¨ New: They recommend making online apple-picking reservations to guarantee your spot, especially on weekends and during peak times.
Even on an early Monday morning, they were jumping. Tom and I apple-picked without reservations, so we have an extra apple crisp in the freezer. Third one of the season. π
