U-Pick at Sky Top Orchard
Sky Top Orchard's panoramic views are best enjoyed while picking some of the freshest mountain-grown apples Western North Carolina has to offer. Bring your friends and family, fill a bag of locally grown fruit, and savor an apple-picking experience that creates memories to last a lifetime.
