There are many activities that signify the arrival of fall: apple picking, visiting pumpkin patches, meandering through corn mazes, and sometimes enjoying all of the above at a fall festival. Today, we’ll bring you a less-than-conventional fall activity that may just become your new favorite: cider slushies. It’s not so much an activity as a delicious seasonal beverage to enjoy, but when you try one at Carter Mountain Orchard, you’ll also enjoy the breathtaking landscape.
If you’ve yet to visit Carter Mountain Orchard, the fall season proves to be one of the most memorable. This delightful farm located just outside of Charlottesville is a picturesque place to engage with the landscape and enjoy delicious produce.
