The Blue Ridge Farm Direct Market Assn., made up of 25 local apple growers <ncapples.com> that provide public rack cards (10,000 printed yearly) and online information about their apples, apple products and locations. The most recent addition is a mobile responsive website that allows customers (mobile phones and devices) to search for specific apple related items that will send them to a specific grower and their location on a map.
