Welcome
to
Hendersonville,
North Carolina,
The State's Number One Apple Producer!
Direct
Marketing allows the consumer to buy apples directly from the
grower. Usually growers have roadside stands where they can offer
the consumer fresh picked apples by the bushel, 1/2 bushel, peck,
or 1/2 peck. Some growers also have "pick your own"
orchards where consumers can pick the apples themselves.
Most of the operations will begin offering apple varieties in
late August and continue operation through October to mid- November.
Some of the roadside stands will stay open until Christmas.
The cost of direct market apples is a fraction of the cost consumers
would pay for apples in the grocery stores.
