A wonderful place to spend two hours, it is located approximately one hour from the house. The apple donuts are quite possibly the best in the country! They have won many awards. You can walk around and pick your own apples or just pick some up to go! The views of the valley are very good from here. There is also a winery and a cider pub on site, as well as a food truck or two on most weekends. You can sit at the picnic tables on the hill sipping wine and having a picnic with a view.
Delicious jellies, honey, and other locally made goods can be purchased in the gift shop. The blackberry jam from Rocky Branch Farm is my favorite! If you decide to go, I would recommend making a reservation, as it gets rather crowded.
