pepin heights

We visited Pepin Heights recently on a gorgeous fall day. It's not an apple orchard in the sense of having trees to look at and apples to pick yourself, but the shop is filled with many varieties of apples, some baked goods (which weren't great -- tasted like they were frozen & warmed up instead of home made), jams/jellies, gourmet popcorn (fantastic!), and various other seasonal and apple-based products. (The apple lip-balm sold by the cash register is great!)The store prices seemed reasonable. I wish they would label the bags of apples better so you could more easily remember what you bought when you get into cooking/eating them.Easily found on the highway south of Lake City.

We drove to Pepin Heights to get Swee Tango apples and found a shopping destination, it was crazy busy! Pepin Heights had jams and jellies, all kinds of food items, fresh baked goods, candles and so much more! They had lots of apples to choose from and give you the opportunity to taste them before you buy. This was by far the busiest place in Lake City and when we drove past the store later in the day, the parking lot was still full and a line of cars with signals on was waiting to turn in!
