Hendersonville is known for its apples and wine grapes, but truly, just about any fruit or vegetable grows well in this climate. Each fall, you can find your ideal pumpkin-picking-spot right at one of Hendersonville’s farms.

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Summer’s warmth has given way to fall, and the mornings now bring a crisp, smooth, coolness to the air, fog often clinging to the mountain peaks, adding a surreal feeling to the already breathtaking landscape. As you break out your flannel shirts and fall boots, and begin day dreaming about the picture-perfect fall day, there is no better time to start immersing yourself in the quintessential fall farm activities.
