Fall is apple season. In Blowing Rock, the go to place for apples is Sunset Tee's & Hattery. They turn the front of their store into an apple market. Owner, Jack, gathers over 25 different varieties of NC apples at his Main Street shop over the fall season. You can purchase them by the bag or the bushel. With so many choices, you might be a bit overwhelmed, but the folks at Sunset Tees will guide you to a new favorite. You can even sample varieties before you decide!
