Stepp's Orchard
Stepp's Orchard is more than a place to pick fruit. It's a third-generation family farm. Mike and his wife now run the orchard alongside their daughter and son-in-law, continuing a legacy built around both business and ministry. Everything here is truly pick-your-own, inviting visitors to stop into the rows and experience the farm for themselves. More than anything, though, it was the people who made an impression on us. Mike, his family, and the entire staff were incredibly welcoming, and we had a wonderful time with them. If you find yourself near Hendersonville, NC, Stepp's Orchard is definitely worth a visit!
