All about apples
Millstone Creek Orchards offers a return to nature at this family-owned, U-pick farm experience. For almost two decades, they have been connecting visitors with seasonal produce like berries, peaches, pecans, apples, and pumpkins. Plan to make memories with your family when you tour the 80-acre property featuring a fishing pond, a covered porch, and tasty apple cider — served hot, cold, slushed, and in delicious donut form. Make sure to take home local goodies from the Apple Barn Country Store.
Get scared
