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.
2026 U-Pick Update
10/21/26
U-Pick appointments are not required for the remainder of our season. Walk-ups can purchase bags onsite, pick in the orchard (while availability remains) and top off their bag with fruit available in our fruit stand.
All attractions (hayride, bee train, apple cannon, gem mining) can be purchased onsite and are open daily.
The final day of our season is November 30th and we will have plenty of already-picked apples, pies, cider and donuts available until then.
