Hickory Nut Gap
Fall Festival
September and October are a special time of year at the farm. Fall colors burst through the trees, cooler weather makes warm apple cider a delicacy, and the farm comes alive with its many activities.
NEW Activities!
For years, families have come to the farm to welcome fall at Hickory Nut Gap Farm. This year, we have added more activities, better value, and a greater overall experience.
