🍎 Peak apple season is here, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to Sky Top! 🍎

Our weekends are getting busier as we head into the heart of apple season here in Western North Carolina, and we are so grateful for every one of you who chooses to spend a little of your fall with us. ❤️

To help make your visit as smooth and enjoyable as possible, we highly encourage booking your U-pick time slot in advance. Reservations help us plan for the day and help match available ripe fruit with U-pickers!

🍏 Planning to walk up for U-Pick? We will do our best to accommodate walk-up guests as fruit availability allows, but walk-up U-pick access is not guaranteed and will be offered only while ripe fruit remains in the orchard. This helps us allow later varieties to ripen.

A little friendly reminder as we head into our busiest fall weeks: please come with a little extra patience, a little extra grace, and lots of kindness for our team and your fellow guests. Our staff is working hard to make sure everyone has a wonderful farm experience, and a kind word or a little understanding goes a long way on a busy fall day. 🍂

We appreciate your support more than you know, and we can’t wait to see you in the orchard! Thank you for being part of our farm family. 🍎🤎
