Abstract:

Harley Prewitt's Apple Hill Orchard and Cider Mill in Morganton has been in the family for four generations. Each year the Prewitts harvest 2,000 trees that grow old favorites, like Red and Golden Delicious apples, and newer varieties, like Ginger Golds, Galas, and Pink Ladies. The orchard has also become a place for families to come for outings and old-fashioned fun. On Family Fun Days, held each Saturday, visitors can taste the cider, sample jams and jellies, and pick their own apples. Prewitt started giving to tours to schoolchildren in 1994, which educate the children about apple growing and local history.
