We visited the fruit stand on Oct. 23, 2014. Sampled the apple we ended up purchasing. We bought two bags of Rome apples that day. We had two apples that I have seen so far that were bad in one bag. Obviously I was given a bad bag. I gave the other one, plus one I had purchased at the festival in Waynesville on the Saturday before, to my son and his family. I haven’t heard from them yet whether any of theirs were bad. I guess I should have gone to the bins and picked out my own. I hate to write a bad review, but we were not pleased to have this happen. It was our first trip there.

You are exactly right when you say you should have gone to the bins and selected your own. We have returned over and over and over each October for 30 plus years and have never been disappointed. We started buying back when our oldest daughter was seven years old and have pictures of both daughters with the apple laden trees. That daughter today is 40 years old. Their baked goods are second to none. The grandchildren always take apples back to classmates and teachers. We always purchase a variety of apples but always plenty of the Rome variety. Refrigerated, they will last at least four to five months. Don’t let one bad apple, or even two, spoil the whole bunch, or , for us, a wonderful family tradition.

Do you happen to know what the price is for one pre-bagged peck of apples? I want to go by there but I want to make sure I can afford it first!

We go to barber’s orchard every year
the last six years. If you have never been them you have missed out. We love the mountains and never miss barber’s when we go unless closed.
The people are great and the apples a.nd Apple products are even better. Don’t miss out.
