What a wonderful day we had with the whole crew together - Sister Jackie, my girlfriend, and all the kids for a fall adventure at Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock, NC.

Apple picking was fantastic. The orchard had excellent varieties to choose from, and the kids enjoyed filling up their bags. Sky Top Orchard runs a great operation with friendly staff and beautiful mountain views surrounding the property.

After loading up on fresh apples, we headed over to Bent Creek for a family-friendly hike. The trails were perfect for the kids, and we enjoyed some beautiful nature together.

A perfect day combining family time, outdoor adventure, and supporting local agriculture. Already planning our next orchard visit.
