Carter Mountain Orchard
Peach Picking
+1 434-977-1833
Carter Mountain Orchard is very much a family affair, and so conveniently located, just a short drive from town large towns and you find yourselves in rural Virginia!
“Just minutes from downtown Charlottesville and Monticello, visitors overlook lush groves and breathtaking views of the valley below. Against this stunning backdrop, families and friends pick sun-ripened peaches and crisp apples while breathing in the fresh mountain air.
From season to season, there’s always something fun! From mid-August until mid-December, you can pick your own apples or buy ready-picked apples, fresh-pressed apple cider, apple cider donuts (a runaway hit year after year), and our scrumptious apple pies.
We grow MANY different subtle varieties, most with boring technical names, so our peaches are best categorized as white, yellow, and donut. All our peaches are offered ready-picked, or as pick-your-own when in season at Chiles Peach Orchard and Carter Mountain Orchard.”

Key Insights:
- We enjoyed sampling the different types of peaches, and trying the famous apple cider donuts, bread pudding, and ice cream.
- Prices were reasonable on all purchases we made, and overall it was just a great experience, a peaceful afternoon.. We had to buy entry tickets ahead as this is their busy season but just consider it parking fee.
- So I let the kids go into the country store to check it out while I hung with the dog in the parking lot and took pictures of the beautiful surroundings.
- But traveling with our dog will make that difficult, it seems.. We're from Richmond and we've been listening to families raved about Carter Mt for eons.
- Tasting like delicate apple fritters, these donuts were absolutely to die for, especially w dabs of vanilla ice cream borrowed from the pie.
