Cedar Bend Orchard Hendersonville, North Carolina Pick a time

U-pick apples & peaches · Hendersonville, NC

Turn in at the bend.

Cedar Bend sits where the road gives up and the rows begin. Pull in, take a bag at the market, and walk out into the trees — apples on one side, peaches on the other, the Blue Ridge holding up the sky behind them.

You are here — the bend

Stop one — the rows

Apples on the left, peaches on the right.

Walk out of the market, follow the road between the blocks, and pick straight into your bag. Bring the kids, bring a friend, bring a hat — the orchard does the rest of the entertaining.

  1. Check in at the market

    Tell us how many are picking, collect your bags, and we'll point you toward whatever is heaviest that day.

  2. Pick straight off the tree

    Apples and peaches, both within reach of small hands. Fill your bag at your own pace — nobody out here is watching a clock.

  3. Come back to the bend

    Settle onto the porch, let the kids run the grass, and take the long way home.

Stop two — the loop

A hayride, then the press.

Half the reason to come out is the road itself. The loop runs past the peach block, along the creek edge and back up the hill to the barn, where the press is waiting.

Hayrides

A wagon out through the rows and back to the bend, with the whole orchard going by at wagon speed. Everyone rides.

Cider press rental

Rent the press and work through your own apples under the barn roof. It's slow, it's loud, and the whole family ends up crowded around it.

School field trips

A weekday morning for your class — a ride on the loop, a row set aside to pick, and a turn at the press for the hands that want one.

Stop three — the market

The market at the bend.

The farm market stands right where the road turns in — fruit from the rows, cider from the press, and the press itself set up for anyone who wants to work it. It's the first thing you see and usually the last place you stop on the way out.

Picnic reservations

The field past the market is open for picnics. Reserve a table for the afternoon, spread out under the trees, and stay as long as the light does.

The last bend

Come find the bend.

Nobody remembers a time slot. They remember the wagon ride out, the peach eaten warm off the tree, and the drive home with the windows down. Book your visit, then take your time getting here.
