Apple Picking in Ellijay

September 27, 2010 by Caroline Leave a Comment

Fall season is upon us and the apples are ready for harvest. Rachel, the parents and I drove up to Ellijay on Saturday for some forced family fun…sort of. There are a lot of places to pick apples, but we went to Hillcrest Orchards.

The trees are sorted by type of apple: gala, golden delicious and so on. And unauthorized apple pickers will be prosecuted. Just check out the guy hanging on the sign. Pretty morbid for a family friendly joint.

Live bumblebees, stuffed bears, scary animatronic farmer on a tractor and family fun!

Baskets handmade in Ghana. Perfect for putting all your apples in.

Plenty of Gala apples, my favorite. And no, Rachel, your lips don’t need to be any bigger.

The cider was delicious, as were the apples. Go grab yourself some. And make me a pie with them.
