Jeter Mountain Farm is a family-owned and operated u-pick apple orchard nestled on 400 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a short distance from historic downtown Hendersonville and Brevard. Owners Jared, Tyler, Jocelyn, and Kelsey Hunsader opened Jeter Mountain Farm to the public for the first time in fall 2020 after years of commercially farming vegetables on the property, and with a lineage of farming in their family history.
A first-generation apple farm, the first apple trees were planted in 2014 as the dream was birthed to create a place where the community could spend a day with friends and family creating memories and experiencing the joys of agriculture first hand.
Now in their 5th year of business, they open their doors to the community each July - October, offering a variety of u-pick apples and other fruits; a hard cider taproom featuring hard ciders crafted from apples picked, pressed, fermented and canned or kegged on site; a bakery; a Smokehouse serving in-house smoked BBQ; a full Coffee House; an indoor children's play area; 6,000 square feet of retail gift shop and market space; and many other fall favorite treats.
Jeter Mountain Farm aims to be a place where every member of the family is able to enjoy their day.
