Trust me when I say this…this place is soooo great!!!

🍁🍂 Howdy, y'all! 🍂🍁

Get ready to fall in love with our brand new scrumptious Fall Flavor DreamWhips at Darnell Farms here in beautiful Bryson City, NC. 🍧🍁

First up, we've got our ButteryBeer Butterscotch DreamWhip - a luscious butterscotch soft serve, drizzled with sweet butterscotch and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. It's like a cozy butterscotch blanket right in your cup! 🍦🍯

Next, gather ‘round our S'mores DreamWhip - a divine Vanilla Marshmallow soft serve, swirled with rich chocolate syrup, sprinkled with Graham crackers and finished off with whipped cream. It's a campfire delight, without the campfire! 🔥🍫

Pumpkin lovers, rejoice! Our Pumpkin Spice DreamWhip is here - a delightful pumpkin spice soft serve, topped with crunchy Graham crackers and whipped cream. It's fall in a cup, y'all! 🎃🍦

Last, but not the least, bite into the crispness of fall with our Caramel Green Apple DreamWhip - a refreshing green apple soft serve, generously drizzled with luscious caramel sauce. An apple a day keeps the doctor away... especially if it's in a DreamWhip! 🍏🍦

And let's not forget our classic favorites - the tropical Pineapple DreamWhip and the berrylicious Strawberry DreamWhip! 🍍🍓

These mouth-watering delights will be served at our farm stand, alongside other incredible fall treats and fresh produce, until the end of fall. So come on down, enjoy a picturesque one-mile hayride to our authentic pumpkin patch, and savor these heavenly DreamWhips that folks have been traveling miles for! 🚜🌽🎃

Fall is close and approaching quickly! We actually had great colors from mid to late September all the way into the first part of November!

FALL COLOR IS COMING!
Here’s a handy map produced by the Appalachian State University Dept of Biology to get us thinking about the changes to come. This map differs from most other such maps because it combines the effects of both elevation and latitude on fall color, whereas most other maps simply use elevation alone. It is only an approximation.

SEPT 25th - OCT 2nd ⬇️
At the highest elevations, close to 6,000 feet there is some color, but it's often very spotty and muted. The views from these locations will be mostly green, since the areas viewed are lower elevations. Areas that turn early in this date and elevation range include Graveyard Fields and Rough Ridge.

OCT 2nd - 9th ⬇️
Peak time for areas above 5,000 feet. This would include: Clingmans Dome, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Waterrock K**b and Graveyard fields (the first location on the Parkway to turn) and higher elevations of The Blue Ridge Parkway (between Asheville and Cherokee) and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

OCT 9th - 16th ⬇️
Peak time for elevations from 4,000 - 5,000 feet. This would include almost all Blue Ridge Parkway locations and the majority of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well. Included in this elevation are the Boone and Blowing Rock areas.

OCT 16th - 23rd ⬇️
Peak time for lower elevations, from 3,000 - 4,000 feet. This would include places like: Pisgah National Forest which includes Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Falls, Dill Falls, Wildcat Falls, and many other waterfalls. Other ares include Linville Gorge, Nantahala Gorge, Maggie Valley, and Cataloochee Valley.

OCT 23rd - 30th ⬇️
Peak time for elevations from 2,000 feet - 3,000 feet. This would include: The cities of Asheville, Brevard, Waynesville, Cherokee, and many others. Places of interest include Dupont State Forest and Biltmore Estate, and Cades Cove.

OCT 30th - NOV 6th ⬇️
Peak time for remaining elevations, including Gatlinburg, TN, Chimney Rock NC, Lake Lure and remaining lower elevation mountains. This includes Chimney Rock as well, a great place to see Fall color.
