Breathtaking Views from Carter Mountain Orchard in the Fall.  Carter Mountain Orchard is located off of Route 53 near PVCC, Michie Tavern, and Monticello.

If you’ve never been to Carter Mountain, you are missing breathtaking views, delicious apple cider donuts, fresh, juicy fruit, and a great place to just idle a Charlottesville afternoon away!  Carter Mountain Orchard has free admission and is open seasonally with different fruit available for picking for the majority of the year.  From the apple festival to tree-ripened and white flesh peaches, to nectarines, pumpkins for halloween, and fresh garden vegetables, the Orchard is plentiful nearly year-round.

If you ar thinking about visiting Carter Mountain Orchard, check out their website first- it has daily updates about the different sections of the orchard that are open each day, as well as which fruit is prime for picking.  The upcoming Spring Fling Festival is a fun two-day event, filled with hayrides, crafts, delicious food, and a souvenir shop full of lots of homemade goodies to bring back for friends and family.

Located off of Route 53, near Michie Tavern, PVCC, and Monticello, Carter Mountian’s Spring Fling Festival is one of two major seasonal events at Carter Mountain; one in the Spring and on in the Fall;

Carter Mountain Orchard Spring Fling Festival:

April 17, April 18 from 10AM – 5PM

Carter Mountain Orchard Apple Harvest Festival:

October 2, October 3, October 9, October 10 from 9AM – 6PM

Whether or not it’s an official festival, Carter Mountain is a great place to take a quiet stroll, to bring the kids for an afternoon of fun, or to bring your spouse for a picnic lunch. It has breath-taking views all around and is a great, low-cost opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.  The Orchard is typically very busy at the beginning of each picking season, especially during the months when it is only open on the weekends, but during the weeks at mid-day it is peaceful and quiet.

    Our kids LOVE going to Carter’s Mountain. It’s a great outing for the whole family and the fresh-baked apple donuts are DELICIOUS! If you haven’t tried them you’re really missing something!

    Happy weekend everyone! As we make plans to celebrate the end of the week, we're also taking a pause and reflecting on the events that occurred 5 years ago here in Charlottesville. Our hearts go out to the victims and the community as a whole as this anniversary serves as a reminder of the work we must do to heal the deep wounds of our community.

As we research, attend events, and reflect on the 2017 events, remember to take care of your mental health amid the painful memories as they arise. We will continue to care for one another as we work to heal, learn, and grow to make Charlottesville a safe place, for everyone. ❤️
