JMF WINES
A True Taste of the Blue Ridge
An expansive bouquet of citrus fruits, notes of Granny Smith, and a hint of acidity result in a crisp, dry, and delightful apple wine. From our farm to your glass, each sip is rooted in tradition and has a beautiful story to tell.
THE RED
ELEGANT CEDAR
& BERRY
Petit Verdot, Cabernet France, Chambourcin, and Merlot come together to create a full-bodied, semi-dry, and memorable "Red." Notes of ripe raspberry, plum, and dried blueberry dance with hints of cedar and tobacco leaf.
THE WHITE
BRIGHT CITRUS,
SMOOTH FINISH
Vidal Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc for the adventurous palate. A balanced acidity intermingles with bright citrus and Mirabelle plum flavors, decorated with a brilliant clarity and a smooth, dry finish.
Non-
Alcoholic
SPARKLING CIDER
CRISP AND SWEET
Discover the hidden gem in the Cider Co. collection: a non-alcoholic cider that captures the crisp, sweet essence of sun-ripened apples in an exhilarating, bubbly experience perfect for any occasion.

HOMEMADE AND FROM SCRATCH
ORCHARD TO TABLE SWEET TREATS
We are proud that every baked good produced inside the Orchard Baking Co. is homemade and completely from-scratch! Featuring fruits from our orchards, it is truly an "orchard to table" experience. Whether apples in our pies or cider in our donuts, it all starts with apples grown and picked right here at the farm. We have to admit, our fresh apple cider donuts are one of our favorite ways to enjoy our cider.
Each of our baked goods are our own Jeter Mountain Farm family recipe, some passed down for generations! We love being able to share a taste of our farm family traditions with you, and hope these goodies quickly become one of your favorite parts of autumn as well.
