点评:Carter Mountain Orchard was highly recommended to me by a colleague. So, I kept this orchard mind for a short outing and an opportunity to buy local apples but did not anticipate anything special.
Last fall I considered going with my husband but decided against it because of the admission charge. Yesterday, the first day of good weather in some time, we decided to check it out after our walk on the Saunders-Monticello trail. This time, there was no admission charge and we were treated to a surprise of spectacular panoramic views since the orchard is at the very top of the mountain. There is the option to pick your own fruit or buy it already picked in bags. There is also an ice cream stand, an outdoor sheltered space to enjoy drinks and music, and a well-stocked gift shop, where you can buy apple cider donuts and pies with seasonal fruit. There were enough people enjoying the mountain to enliven the scene but there were no long lines and everyone had enough room.
Based on the other reviews here, I would not visit on a weekend during the peak fall season.

去年秋天,我曾考虑和丈夫一起去,但因为门票问题最终放弃了。昨天,天气好得令人难以置信,我们决定在桑德斯-蒙蒂塞洛步道散步后去看看。这次果园免费入场,而且由于果园位于山顶,我们惊喜地欣赏到了壮丽的全景。您可以选择自己采摘水果,也可以购买袋装的水果。果园里还有一个冰淇淋摊,一个可以边喝饮料边欣赏音乐的户外避风处,以及一个货品齐全的礼品店,您可以在那里买到苹果酒甜甜圈和用时令水果制成的派。山上人很多,热闹非凡,但排队并不长,每个人都有足够的空间。
根据这里的其他评论,我不会在秋季旺季的周末去那里。
