Sky Top, Stepp's apple orchards among 10 best in U.S.

Sky Top in Flat Rock and Stepp's Hillcrest  in Edneyville have been named top 10 apple orchards in America in a USA Today fall travel feature.

An expert panel, including a combination of editors from USA TODAY; editors from 10Best.com; relevant expert contributors; and sources for both these media and other Gannett properties, selected Sky Top and Hillcrest orchards as contenders for Best Apple Orchard. The contest was promoted by USA TODAY and gave the public four weeks to vote for the orchard of their choice.

Winners were announced on the 10Best website last week. Skytop was ranked fourth and Hillcrest seventh in the top 10 list.

Sky Top Orchard, on Pinnacle Mountain Road in Flat Rock, has farm animals, wagon rides and apple cider doughnuts. Visit http://www.skytoporchard.com for more information.

Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard, at 170 Stepp Orchard Drive in Edneyville, was Henderson County’s First Pick-Your-Own Apple Orchard. It offers U-pick or already picked apples, apple cider doughnuts, farm tours, a corn maze, an apple cannon and more. For more information visit steppapples.com.
