More than 40 heirloom and modern apple varieties, but access is genuinely narrow — Sundays only, September 13 through October 25, 2026 — so this isn't a spontaneous weekday stop the way most other Henderson County orchards are.
Creasman Farms is located at 280 Bent Arrow Lane in Hendersonville, and this is one of the more precisely dated records in this Henderson County batch. The orchard’s own site states directly: “U-Pick opens Sunday Sept. 13th, 2026! We will be open Sundays only 12-5pm thru October 25th.” That’s an explicit, unambiguous 2026 window — both the start and end dates come straight from the orchard, not an estimate. Confirmed hours are 12pm to 5pm on the days it’s open, and sunflower picking is confirmed as an available activity alongside apples. Cider donuts are explicitly not offered here, based on the record.
The single most important thing to understand about Creasman Farms is that “Sundays only” is a real operational limit, not a typo or a partial schedule. Compare this to nearby Henderson County orchards like Stepp’s Hillcrest (open daily) or Coston Farm (open six days a week): Creasman offers exactly six Sundays of u-pick access across its entire 2026 season (September 13, 20, 27, and October 4, 11, 18, 25 — seven Sundays by that count, per the stated window). Anyone whose schedule doesn’t line up with a Sunday afternoon simply won’t be able to pick apples at this location during the confirmed window, which makes it one of the least flexible orchards in this research batch for spontaneous planning.
Research notes describe Creasman Farms as growing more than 40 heirloom and modern apple varieties — a genuinely large number, larger than any other individually named variety count in this Henderson County batch. However, this record doesn’t name any specific varieties, so it’s impossible to say from here which heirloom apples are actually available, or whether the full 40-plus list is accessible for picking versus grown for other purposes. Anyone drawn specifically to less-common heirloom apples would need to call 828-685-7728 or check creasmanfarmsnc.com directly to find out what’s actually available on a given Sunday.
Usefully, the record notes that Creasman Farms also sells at West Asheville and other regional farmers markets during the week. That’s a real option for anyone who wants the farm’s apples but can’t work around the Sunday-only orchard schedule — though the record doesn’t specify which weekday markets, what hours, or whether the same variety selection is available there as at the orchard itself.
No u-pick pricing is given, and no specific apple varieties are named despite the large total count. There’s also no bakery or cider-donut option mentioned, which sets this apart from most other orchards in this batch that pair apple picking with a bakery stop.
Creasman Farms stands out in this Henderson County batch for two clear, orchard-confirmed 2026 dates — a September 13 opening and an October 25 close — layered onto a genuinely restrictive Sunday-only, 12-5pm schedule. The 40-plus heirloom variety claim is compelling but unverified in specifics from this record. If a Sunday visit fits your schedule, the dates here are about as solid as any in this batch; if not, the West Asheville farmers market appearance is the documented alternative.
