🍎❤️ **As We Close Out Our First Apple Season at Mountain Rest Apple Orchard, our hearts are full of gratitude!** ❤️🍎
❤️ We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us throughout our first apple season! We've loved welcoming familiar faces, meeting new friends, and getting to know so many of our neighbors and fellow Mountain Rest locals. It's been a joy to share the fruits of our labor with you. Your kindness and support have made this first season truly special, and we can’t thank you enough!
One of the most special parts of this season has been hearing so many wonderful stories and memories of John and Gloria. We loved hearing how much they meant to this community and how many lives they touched over the years. **We miss them too!** ❤️
🍯 **A special thank you to our wonderful partnering farms** — Village Creek Honey, Land Bridge Apiary and Honey Farm, and Mountain Valley Farm. We are so grateful for these relationships and the opportunity to share their delicious, locally made products with our customers. Supporting other small farms and businesses makes what we do even more meaningful!
🍎 **We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to LeAnn Arant** for helping us at the apple stand and so generously sharing her knowledge of apples. Her experience, kindness, and willingness to lend a hand have meant so much to us as we navigated our first season!
🍎 **From our family to yours, thank you for making this season one we will always remember. We look forward to seeing you again next season!**
