Paved road up to the red barn where you can shop for fresh fruits, jams, preserves, ciders, etc. there's also wine tasting as they grow grapes too. The view is incredible. There's music on Thursday evenings. It was raining when we arrived, however, it was still a great visit.

Rotten road, good product. If you like fresh vegetables and fruit this is the place. I did not find them overly high but then not overly reasonable either

If you are looking for the best view in town it's up here. Cute shop with produce and farm like goods. They also have wine tasting and excellent apple donuts.

It's a most unusual find: a fully-functioning fruit farm on top of a mountain, approached by an often-dubious track. But do make the drive up there. They grow peaches, apples and all kinds of other wonderful fruit all summer long, and we often come home with bags of it. They also have a "scratch and dent" section if you're buying... More

The view from the top is simply outstanding. regardless of the time of year. Well worth the drive up. The apple festival in the fall gets crazy - parking is scarce, people are everywhere and the walk can be lengthy. The people watching is terribly fascinating however if you choose to brave the crowds. But the apples are amazing, as... More

The different ciders and salad dressings were reasonable and very good. Very friendly storekeeper. Fun place to visit while in Charlottesville. Good scenery and absolutely beautiful location. Must be amazing in fall.

We just visited the Carter Mountain Orchard on April 26, 2013. Although the wineries are the most boasted about Charlottesville attraction, this orchard should NOT be missed. Beautiful scenery, pick your own apples and an amazing store for local apple products. Make sure you do not miss out on the apple salsa or apple cider. They sell the cider in... More

Got to CMO very late (at closing time) but still sold my wife some things. The view is awesome. I wish they stayed open longer but someone (owner? worker?) told me everyone got to dinner in C-Ville around 5 anyway, and then again, I'm not there working all day from probably 5 AM. We hope to be back really soon.

Made the drive up to carter's mountain with our daughters and had a lovely time! The apples we picked were divine and it had a great view over the area. It was quite busy that saturday so I would arrive early. It was a nice way to spend time as a family!
