Apple Barn & Cider Mill the

The kids and I have gone here for many years. For a special treat I'll take them by there for one of the Apple Barn Candy Shop's Caramel apples. They also love the little thin candy sticks. It's fun to watch them make the candy right there in the big window. They also make hot fresh apple pies in a big window where you can see. There is a cider shop you can go into and buy hot apple cider and one of those pies with icecream, and there is also a homemade icecream shop. The gift shop is HUGE, and three stories, made into the shape of a barn. The Apple Barn does alot of fieldtrips for local schools and they show the kids how cider is made, and where they store all their apples, and they tell the story of the history behind the apple barn, how it was once a working farm. It's a wonderful place to visit. more

A genuing working farm, the Apple Barn grows and picks fourteen varieties of apples from more than 14,000 trees which, while you watch, become apple butter, candies, pies, ice cream and more. The various shops are so quaint & comforting. The intoxicating aromas of a Grandmother's kitchen baking fresh pastries all day long lures you in. Once inside you can sample various apple treats all while treating your senses to some of the most wonderful comforting aromas. After visiting the shops be sure to stick around for dinner in the restaurant for a taste of some Southern cooking at it's best. For dessert try some ice cream while relaxing by the river. more
