Autumn is almost upon us. For some of you, that means summer is coming to a close and the school year grind has already begun. The end of summer doesn’t need to be a drag for everyone. In fact, there are plenty of reasons for celebration this fall. For example, the fact that you can pick the juiciest and sweetest apples straight from the tree. Apple orchards are scattered all over Georgia, and the changing of the seasons means that you’ll have quite a few to choose from. Take a look below at a few of the best apple orchards in Georgia.
A visit to this apple orchard in Ellijay is the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon with the family. It's not just fresh apples that you can munch on. There are also jams, jellies, preserves, syrups, and baked goods to choose from.
At Red Apple Barn, the apple orchards are not only plentiful, but delicious. You can pick apples until your heart's content, as well as peruse the beautiful wildflowers and other seasonal growers.

Apple cider donuts! Need we say more? I could just leave it at that, but there is so much more to offer at R & A Orchards. They have a ton of variety in their apples, so you can pick and choose which you like best. Plus, you can snag yourself a piece of fried pie for the ride home.
Jaemor Farms is a pretty popular place, especially on weekends. They have all types of snacks, from fried pies to tasty boiled peanuts. The farm itself has been around since 1912, so they have been producing fresh produce for more than a century. How about that for charm and reliability?
