Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard hosts U-pick Tulip Days

By Lightning Reports, Published: April 8, 2025

Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard, 170 Stepp Orchard Drive in Edneyville, invites the public to Tulip Blossom Days, a springtime pick-your-own tulip experience happening now through Sunday.

Guests can enjoy a variety of seasonal activities while soaking in the mountain views. From classic yard games like corn hole and croquet to browsing the field-side shop, and of course savoring Stepp’s fresh apple cider donuts, there’s something for everyone.

New this year, Stepp’s is offering special hands-on experiences:

• Spring Flower Arranging Workshops teach guests how to create their own bouquets using tulips they pick themselves and other spring blooms.
• Watercolor Workshops invite both kids and adults to capture the beauty of the season on canvas in a beginner-friendly setting.
• Farmer-Led Wagon Tours give a behind-the-scenes look at this working farm’s seasonal growing practices.

Tulip Blossom Days is open 1-4 p.m. Thursday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Admission tickets, workshop sign-ups, and tour reservations are available online at https://steppapples.com/plan-a-visit/u-pick/tulips/.
