Our Trip to the Apple Orchard

Hello everyone!

 

My husband and I recently snuck off to the apple orchard/store in the North GA mountains.  It was a beautiful day!  We ended up buying some fresh picked apples, apple cider, homemade apple pies and apple butter.  Yum!

 

Here are some pics from our day.

 

This is what you see after you park your car and walk to the apple market.  It is called Mercier Orchards.  It's very well known in this area.  It is located in Blue Ridge, GA, which is about an hour north of our house.

 

 

 

Now, let's head inside the store!

 

Of course, there were bags and bags of apples picked from their orchard.  They even had a taste area set-up so you could try the different varieties before buying.

 

They had a little bit of everything at this store. 

 

Soups

 

 

Jellies and other condiments

 

Apple Cider

 

Chocolates

 





 



 Baked Goods

 

 

There was even an area to buy lunch and eat near the bakery.  We each got a freshly baked warm pie to snack on until our next destination.

 

Afterwards, we went into town for some lunch and shopping.  I'll share those pics with you in my next post. 

 

Don't you just love this time of year for festivals and fresh food markets like this?  There is another festival going on in Dahlonega, GA this weekend.  We may try to go.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
