And make sure to bring home at least 6 pounds of different apples to make the easy slow cooker apple butter from our friend Susan Williams!

  1. Hey Lauren,

    I own Morning Glory Orchard (not Orchards) in Nolensville. We DO NOT offer tours on Saturdays. That information is about 3 years old. Would you mind updating your list here? Sadly, we had a family come out today and were very disappointed that we weren’t offering the tours anymore. I’m happy to help with any info you need about our fall festival, the 13 varieties of apples we grow, our hard cider, local honey, apple cider and more.

    • Check out our fall guide with lists of pumpkin farms, fall festivals and more. The apple orchards on this list are the only ones open this year. Most apples are picked in September around here.

  3. Hello! Thanks so much for this list. We went to Fruity Patch Farm today and picked the last of the apples. Mr. C.J. Percle is so nice and helpful! His correct address is 2794 Brown Hollow Road, Columbia, TN 38401. The sign says Percle Farm. The phone number you have listed is correct.
