Crow Mountain Orchard 
what is the cost of each of the fruits in bulk size and medium size??? and small size??? peaches, apples, grapes, pears, and everything else that you have to sell. so we can have cash since you don’t take checks or credit cards. have been there before and could not get anything because of this we did not know your rules, we live out of state and want to visit soon. please let us know by email….rvb906@bellsouth.net thank you!!!!!!
I would like to know the best kind of apples for drying in a dehydrator for making fried pies
We have customers who like to dry several varieties of apples including Gold Delicious, Mutsu, Pippin, Winesap, etc. Gold Delicious work well in fried pies. My favorites for drying are Jonathan, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady. They are a good size for my peeler/slicer. I also prefer tart apples for cooking. Jonathan is my favorite for fried apples, pies, etc. Granny Smith hold their color and shape well when dried or cooked. I don’t like McIntosh for drying. They turn brown even treated and are a little mushy for the peeler/slicer. I hope this helps.
I prefer Golden Delicious. I freeze my dehydrated apple slices (in Zip Loc bags). Makes great fried pies. Also good to eat while are still frozen.

I am planning to be in the Crowe Mountain area on Nov. 5th. Will you still have Jonagold, Gala, or Fuji apples available?
Sorry, Bobby. The Jonagold, Gala, and Fuji apples were picked and sold quite awhile ago. The only varieties we have left are posted on the home page under “Fruit currently available.”
Do you still have peaches? Love your fruit. Jonathan Clark Winchester.
Thanks, Jonathan. Yes, the peaches have just started coming in. Right now we have semi-cling in limited quantities. The main crop of freestone yellow and white peaches should be getting ripe in a couple of weeks.
Are the red haven peaches close to being in the store?
The Red Havens will probably be another week or two. They are typically ripe by now, but are really late this year. I will post it as soon as they are ripe.
Hello, Are the grapes, nectarines ready as yet? And also any big peaches? Which type peaches are best for freezing, and do you have any now?
Thank you, Marty
The grapes may be ready in one to two weeks. The nectarines are expected to start coming in during the next week, although quantities will be limited. Right now we have semi-cling peaches that are very good, but the larger freestone (clear seed) that are great for freezing should be getting ripe within the next couple of weeks. I will post them when they are ready.
Hello. Will the Honey Crisp apples be ready around the 3rd week of August as it states on your calendar? Thank you…
Michelle, there is no way to know for sure yet when the Honey Crisp will be ready. My guess is they will be later than usual since everything else is running a couple of weeks late this year. I love the Honey Crisp. I will post a note as soon as Dad has an idea when they will be getting ripe.
Our church is planning a fall trip the first weekend Nov 2, 2013. Do you think you will still be open? Thanks
Hi, Shannon. Yes, we will be open. I recommend you call the salesroom (256-437-9254) and get your group scheduled and let Barb and Michelle know what time you will be there.
Please keep me,up to date on what is available would love some wine sap apples and cider. Thank you
Terri, I keep the list of what is currently available on the home page, https://crowmountainorchard.com/. If you click on the “Follow” button on the bottom of the right column, you will get an email notice whenever I post updates. We currently have Winesap apples and cider.
My daughter and I visited for the first time today. We were not disappointed, we purchased two big buckets of tasty cherries. The winding road up was an adventure & I had previously read about it’s history..Will be back for peaches to can soon!
Welcome to Crow Mountain! I am glad you found us and hope you enjoy your cherries. Thanks for the note.
Thank you so much for all your help and for all the good fruits you all supply us with. I hope to get in on allot more of your selection this year. see you soon for some blueberries. .Brenda in Huntland
Glad to help, Brenda. We are glad you enjoy our fruit.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INDIAN PEACHES?
Mary, I talked to my sister at the orchard a few minutes ago. She said they will have some Indian Cling, but it may be a couple of weeks. I will post a notice as soon as they come in. They are one of the last peaches to get ripe.
Mary, the Indian Cling peaches are ready now.
When will the King Lusk be available?
We don’t have many King Lusk. An estimate is that they are usually ripe towards the end of September. They come in after the Jonagold.
Do you have Arkansas black yet? Thanks. Enjoy the orchard and staff so friendly…
Yes, Mary, we have the Arkansas Black. We started selling them on Sunday. We don’t have many, so don’t wait long. Thanks for the kind words.
Hello, do you all still have apples. And do you’ll give a little tour to children. Can they pick apples?
Thank u
Alma, yes, we still have plenty of apples. Go to the “Home” page of our website where I post what we have available at the current time. https://crowmountainorchard.com/. We do not give tours or allow anyone in the orchard to pick apples. Thanks for inquiring.
What happened to Winchester farmers market? Nobody there today…?
I am sorry Car Tor. I just found out from Dad that the Winchester market hasn’t finished their new building yet. We won’t be going for another couple of weeks when they get it finished. We didn’t know until today. I am going to put up a post now to let people know. I am sorry for your inconvenience.
Looking forward to visiting this year. Can you send updates to my email?
Teresa, you will get email updates of all my posts by “Following” our website. Look in the column on the right side of the page almost to the bottom. You will see a button with “Follow” on it under the heading, “Follow Blog via Email”. That is all you have to do to get emails of our updates.

Thank you so much for all the work you do to provide us with your fruit. Thanks so much
So glad you are now represented at Franklin County, TN, farmers’ market. Can’t wait for your freestone peaches & Mutsu apples.
I would like to be informed about when the Indian peaches come in.
Carolyn, we will post it on our webpage and Facebook when the Indian Cling get ripe. To receive an email, go to the bottom right column of our webpage and put your email address in “Follow blog via email.” You will receive an email of all our updates and posts. We have over 5,000 people who follow us online, so I cannot make promises to send individual emails. The Indian Cling should be ripe within a couple of weeks.
Carolyn, the Indian Cling peaches just started coming in. They are available in the orchard salesroom now.
Do you get to pick the apples yourself?
I’m sorry, Angela, but we do not offer pick-you-own.
Where are you located
6236 County Road 39 Fackler, AL 35746. Here is a map: https://www.mapquest.com/embed/search/results?centerOnResults=1&query=6236%20County%20Road%2039%20Fackler,%20AL&slug=%2Fus%2Fal%2Ffackler%2F35746-5010%2F6236-county-road-39-34.855656,-86.003641¢er=34.857014,-86.029205&zoom=9
I love fresh fruits and love local fruit farms. Want any information on them that I can get.
Are the pink lady apples ready.
No, not yet, Janice.
Do you ever plan on growing Paw Paws?
Sorry, no paw paws that I know of.
I would like to know if one can order from you Jonthan apples? I love them! Do you have any information of what store in Memphis, TN may carry them? I used to purchase these wonderful apples in the Easy-Way stores but they are closing. And other locations are far & in between. Thank you!
I like the Jonathans, too, and there aren’t many available in the south for some reason. We mostly sell everything in the orchard’s salesroom and some local farmers markets. A few local grocery stores buy from us, but not as far away as Memphis. We don’t ship our apples. I’m sorry I can’t help you get your Jonathans, Francee.
We love your Fuji apples. Do you have these yet?
Yes, Fuji apples are a great apple. They get ripe in October.
Do you ship your apple cider
No, I am sorry, but we do not ship our cider or fruit. The cider should remain refrigerated.
Are your Granny Smith apples ??
What’s the cost of the Granny Smith apples?
The Granny Smiths aren’t ripe yet. It may be another couple of weeks. They will be the same price as our other apples. $3 for 3 lb, $6 for 1/2 peck, $10 for peck, and $16 for 1/2 bushel. Prices are different at the farmers markets.
When are pink lady apples ready?
We have them now, Donna. I posted it on the home page and on FB.
Do you grow sweetango apples?
Sorry, but we don’t grow sweetango.
Do you accept the senior farmers market coupons??
And what peaches are in this week???a
Gertrude, I apologize for not replying sooner, but I just saw your comment. Yes, we accept the FNP seniors’ coupons. We have white and yellow freestone peaches.
Hey we are looking to place a large order for apples asap, but have been unsuccessful at contacting anyone at the number above. Do your guys have another point of contact?
The salesroom number of 256-437-9254 -between 8 and 4 is the best number, but you may try calling Brett on his cell phone at 256-609-0744. Our cell phones don’t always have a signal on Crow Mountain.
Can apple cider be frozen? If not, how long will it be good in fridge?
Yes, many of our customers buy extra cider to freeze. Make sure to pour some out of each jug you are freezing to allow room for expansion.
Best time to come?
The orchard has not opened yet for the 2019 season. None of our fruit starts getting ripe until sometime in June when the early fruit starts being harvested.
when will you pick p[ippin and mutsu,app[les
I don’t know for sure. As the Fruit Calendar indicates, it will probably be a week or two for Pippins and about a month for Mutsus based on previous years. We don’t know for sure until the pickers start bringing in the bins of apples.
