NORTH CAROLINA, APPLE-PICKING SEASON IS ALMOST OVER! 

If apple picking is still on your fall bucket list, this is your sign to plan a trip before the season ends!

@justusorchard 
📍187 Garren Rd, Hendersonville, NC 28792
(30 mins from Asheville)

Not only can you pick fresh apples straight from the trees, but they have a store where you can buy pre picked apples and other apple goodies. 

There is also a bakery on site where they sell fresh apple sweet made from their apples! 

 This is the perfect date idea or weekend family outing so save this video and send it to someone you’re going with! 

🍎 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

📍 Location: Justus Orchard – Hendersonville, NC

🕘 Seasonal Hours:
    •    Monday–Friday: 9 AM–5 PM
    •    Saturday–Sunday: 9 AM–6 PM

💰 Admission & Apple Picking:
    •    Apple-picking prices depend on the available picking options and current harvest.
We paid about $35 for a big bag
    •    Some activities cost extra.
    •    Check with the orchard for current pricing before visiting.

🍏 What You Can Do:
    •    Pick your own fresh apples (while available)
    •    Enjoy homemade apple cider donuts
    •    Try fried apple pies and apple cider slushies
    •    Explore the orchard and take fall photos
    •    Enjoy family-friendly activities, including jumping pillows, playgrounds, cow train rides and apple cannons (availability and additional fees may vary)

✨IMPORTANT SEASON UPDATE:

Apple-picking season typically wraps up around mid-October, depending on weather and apple availability. That means time is running out to pick your own apples this fall!

The orchard may still have other activities and treats available after U-pick ends, so check for updates before making the drive!

Whether you’re planning a fall date, a family outing or a weekend adventure, this is one of those seasonal experiences worth adding to your list!

SAVE this video for your fall bucket list and SEND it to someone you’d take apple picking! 🍎

North Carolinas biggest influencers are saying the quiet part out loud! 

I asked the states most popular content creators what’s one misconception about being a content creator and this is what they had to say… 

The general consensus is… everyone thinks being a successful content creator is easy but very few people consider everything that goes into it. They see the finished results, they see the followers and they see the food and invites to fun events. 

They don’t know that one video can take 8 hours to produce from start to finish, or the fact that most of us created content for YEARS before anyone noticed us, the amounts of “no’s” we still get, and just how much time and effort on the back end it takes. 

Hear from North Carolina’s most successful content creators on what THEY think the biggest misconception is. 

@stephcolleen 
@joyeatsworld22 
@magnifgoeshard 
@_madamj 
@live.leaf.learn 
@raleighfoodtrap 
@kbunveiled 

And if you’re a content creator yourself, let me know in the comments what you think the biggest misconception about influencing is!

📍Greensboro, we’re on the ROAD TO GHOE!

I’m interviewing a handful of successful @ncatsuaggies alumni leading up to GHOE! 

From North Carolina A&T to the entertainment industry, 102 JAMZ’s very own @osamabindrankin has a story worth hearing!

I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Drank for a special edition of my Hometown Hustle interview series as we celebrate the road to the 100th anniversary of @ncatsuaggies GHOE!

In Part 1, we’re talking about how he got his start in the entertainment industry, his experience auditioning for MTV’s @mtvwildnout and the advice he has for the next generation of dreamers looking to make their mark.

One of my favorite things about interviewing successful people from our community is hearing about the journey behind the success. Every familiar face and voice has a story, and sometimes those stories are exactly what someone else needs to hear to keep going.

Whether you’re an Aggie, an aspiring entertainer or someone working toward a dream, I hope this conversation inspires you!

A huge thank you to @osamabindrankin @drankontherox @roxie2hot4tv @102_jamz jamz having me in the studio. 

This is only Part 1! Stay tuned for more of our conversation, because trust me, we are only just getting started! 

Can I get an #aggiepride in the comments?!?

To be in the room with legends! 🥹🎙️ @102_jamz @drankontherox @osamabindrankin @roxie2hot4tv 

I’m beyond honored and grateful to have stopped by 102 JAMZ this morning for the Drank on the Rocks Morning Show and to spend time with Drank and Roxie!

I grew up listening to 102 JAMZ and the Three Live Crew Morning Show, so to find myself in the same room with the very people I grew up listening to is truly a full-circle moment. 

One thing this journey as a local content creator has taught me is that closed mouths don’t get fed, and you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

We all have moments when we question ourselves. Moments when that little voice in our head says, “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not ready” or “They probably won’t take me seriously.” 

But don’t count yourself out before someone else even has the chance to count you in. 

During my visit, I had the incredible opportunity to interview @osamabindrankin about his journey from being a student at @ncatsuaggies to building a successful career in the entertainment industry. We talked about how he got his start, the lessons he’s learned along the way and the experiences that helped shape the person he is today.

I don’t take moments like these for granted, I’m still learning, still growing and still finding my way, but experiences like this remind me why I started🥹

Thank you, God, for every opportunity, every open door and every person who has believed in me along the way. And a HUGE thank you to Drank, Roxie and the 102 JAMZ family for having ya girl in the building today! ❤️

Stay tuned for my interview with Drank as part of my Road to GHOE interview series! 💙💛

#PandaExpressPartner Winston-Salem, the brand-new @officialpandaexpress in the Hanes Mall area is officially here!

If you’re looking for an affordable and convenient option for lunch or dinner, save this video and send it to a friend!

📍 1917 Hampton Inn Court, Winston-Salem, NC 27103

There are plenty of entrées and sides to mix and match, but my go-to order is the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and the Cantonese BBQ Brisket with Chow Mein and Super Greens. 

The brisket is back for a limited time and while supplies last, so make sure you try it while you can!

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, grabbing dinner on the go or picking up food for the family, this new location makes it even easier to get your Panda Express fix in Winston-Salem.
