Picking Schedule

Welcome to Sky Top Orchard!

The mountains of western North Carolina are full of "pick-your-own" orchards. We offer more. Visit Sky Top Orchard and you'll enjoy panoramic mountain views, orchard ponds with ducks and geese, our 'barnyard' area with sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys and more, a bamboo forest to explore, lots of picnic areas and, of course, a mountaintop of fragrant apple and fruit trees. View our downloadable map to see all that we have to offer.

When you purchase a bushel of apples, a wagon load of pumpkins or a cooler full of apple cider, you'll take home more than the makings for delicious fall recipes, you'll take home a mountain of memories too.

Closed for the 2012 Season. We'll reopen in August 2013.
