Apple Picking & Recipes

Apple picking at Carter Mountain Orchard, Charlottesville, VA

I love to pick apples and we’re lucky here in Charlottesville to have Carter Mountain Orchard so close! Just one mountain over from Monticello is the beautiful Carter’s Mountain Orchard where you can enjoy amazing views, delicious apple cider slushies and apple cider donuts—oh and you can pick apples too!
