T.P.
We just moved last September back to Asheville which is our home town from living in Charlotte 10 years.
We went to the Hendersonville annual Apple Festival and while we were there we picked up a brochure from "Grandad's Apples and Such." Not sure if you want to travel towards Hendersonville (about 2 hours from Charlotte) but it looks like a really neat place. I plan on taking my 16 month old when the pumpkin season arrives. They have a website www.grandadsapples.com If not there, check out some places in the Asheville area and you should find plenty to do for fall. Especially Hay rides. If you would like for me to help locating other places around here for a day trip let me know. I'll gladly help.
