One of the most beloved family outings in the area, especially from summer through early fall. Pick your own strawberries, peaches, apples, and other fruit depending on the season, then reward yourselves at the bakery and ice cream counter. The views from the orchard looking out over the Blue Ridge Mountains are spectacular, and the whole experience has the kind of unhurried, hands-in-the-dirt charm that kids carry with them. The peach ice cream in August is not to be missed.
