Clift Orchard in Strawberry Plains, TN

Picking your apples

Our take

The short version

Clift Orchard is a small East Tennessee farm near Strawberry Plains that multiple independent pick-your-own directories — US Farm Trail, PickYourOwn.farm’s regional search, and Apple Picking Finder — consistently list as growing apples and peaches, close enough to Knoxville to work as a short day trip. That consistency across three separate, independent directories is worth something: it’s not just one stale listing being repeated, but multiple sources agreeing this business exists and grows these crops. Still, this is honestly the thinnest-sourced entry in this entire file, and it should be treated accordingly.

Why three sources agreeing still isn’t the same as confirmation

It’s worth being precise about what “multiple directories agree” does and doesn’t tell you. All three sources named here are aggregators — they compile listings rather than independently visiting or verifying farms — so their agreement could simply mean they all pulled from the same original source at some point, rather than three truly independent confirmations. What it does establish reasonably well is that Clift Orchard is a real, named business that grows apples and peaches; what it can’t establish is whether that’s still accurate today, or what visiting actually looks like.

No website, no name to check current status against

Beyond the address and phone number, almost nothing about this operation could be independently verified for this record: no working website, no confirmed hours, and no apple variety list. That’s a genuinely bare-bones record compared to most other entries in this file, even the other thinly-documented ones like Aaron Family Orchards or Mack Aaron’s Apple House in Georgia, which at least had a specific chamber-of-commerce listing to draw from. Here, the closest thing to an authoritative local source is the aggregator directories themselves.

Directory listings can go stale

The editor’s note here is direct about this risk: directory listings can go stale, meaning a small farm like this could have closed, changed hands, or stopped selling to the public without every aggregator’s listing being updated to reflect that. For a business with no confirmable current web presence, that risk is real rather than hypothetical — there’s simply no way, from this record, to know how recently any of these directories last verified the listing themselves.

Close enough to Knoxville to be a real option, if it checks out

The one genuinely useful planning detail here is geographic: Strawberry Plains sits close enough to Knoxville that this could work as a short day trip if the orchard is confirmed active. That’s worth factoring in if you’re already planning a Knoxville-area outing and want to check whether Clift Orchard is a viable add-on stop.

What’s missing, and why it matters

Every practical detail beyond the address and phone number is missing: hours, u-pick status, apple varieties, pricing, and any 2026-specific season information. Given how thin this record is, this should be treated as a lead to verify by phone rather than a confirmed visitor destination you can plan a trip around with any confidence.

Getting there

Clift Orchard is at 721 Asheville Hwy in Strawberry Plains, Jefferson County, Tennessee, in the Knoxville area.
