Breakfast.
The canning business has continued to thrive. All of the fruits and vegetables are grown at Sunset Hills and are canned using the time-consuming old-/ashioned open kettle method but “the best way,” according to Leon Hutcheson.
The Hutchesons’ adventure began 25 years ago when they planted their orchards high up on Jenkins Mountain. They are at 1,000 feet with a spectacular vista of the Blue Ridge. It’s that view and the hospitality of the Hutchesons which have made Sunset Hills a popular B & B spot. They planted peaches, apples, nectarines and apricots. No luck at all with the apricots — they bloomed too early every year and the frost that inevitably followed nipped the buds which meant no apricots again. It didn’t take too many years of that before they pulled out the trees.
Mums and gifts
In addition to the fruits and vegetables, Sunset Hills Farm also grows magnificent mums and they are just beginning to show color. Mr. Hutcheson guesses that they'll be at their peak for fullness and color around the first of October, and they’re available for sale now.
The gift shop and cannery is open daily, do call first and all of the products and specialty gift baskets can be shipped to friends and family from Sunset Hills. Ms. Bywaters also bakes some great “scratch” pies: Banana Cream, Lemon
