The Folk Collaborative is an Appalachian family owned & operated old fashioned apple orchard located on a hillside in the heart of southern Appalachia. Enjoy U-pick, wagon rides, fried pies, the mercantile and events.
Remembering their Appalachian Roots, they are purveyors of all organic herbs, teas, salves, extraction, ointments, supplies, mountain knowledge and all things folk. Stories and wisdom are shared through hands-on workshops.
