Apple Hill Farm is carved into a mountaintop in Banner Elk and getting there is nearly half the fun. From downtown Banner Elk you'll drive several miles to the east before leaving the pavement and making your way up a gravel drive with a fun family adventure awaiting at the end.
Take a guided tour and make some new four-legged friends along the way. The farm is an ideal place to reconnect with nature and to relax for an hour or two.
From irresistible angora goats to alpacas that'll have you laughing from the deepest points in your belly, this is one experience you'll want to have again and again.
And the staff is pretty awesome too! The guided tour lasts 45-60 minutes and is great for all ages.
Visitors to the High Country return again and again to this family-friendly farm nestled high atop a mountain. Have you visited yet?
