Carl Sandburg Estate - Flat Rock, about 30 minutes from the B&B

Historic Johnson Farm

Pisgah National Park - North Mills River

And of course there is the Apple Festival.

 

Lots of fun for all!

I've arranged a hayride tour of one of the local apple orchards for our wedding guests.  The tour will be Saturday, August 30th at 11am at Stepp Orchards.  We'll depart from the B&B around 10:30am or so.  Our guests will be able to learn the history of the orchard and the many varieites of apples they produce.  Each guest will also be able to pick a 1/2 peck (5-6) apples to take home.  This is also a great photo opportunity.  Just a tip...the Ginger Gold apples are the best and they sell out fast.

Checkout the pictures we during during our trip to Hendersonville last summer. 

As everyone knows Courtney and I have been engaged for quite some time before commiting on a wedding date.  I am pretty much to blame for this.  As we were getting ready for a trip to visit my sister in Raleigh the idea of having it in Hendersonville became more appealing to me.  This is where I spent my informative years, my roots are here, and I wanted the people that I cared about the most to experience this special event in a place where they could learn more about me at the same time.  Another reason that over time has become pretty important to me for going back to Hendersonville is so my Mom could attend the wedding.  She may not remember it five minutes after it's over, but I will and that's a memory I would like to have.  I know that all of our guests will fall in love with the small town charm that is Hendersonville, just like Courtney has.
