Apple Orchards in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia
Georgia may in fact be the peach state, but come to
the North Georgia Mountains for the apple orchards. According to Southern
Living Magazine's October, 2002 edition, Mercier Orchards is their "favorite
roadside apple market." According to the article,” the cooks
create some of the most memorable pastries, fried pies, fritters, doughnuts
and dumplings that you will find anywhere." So whether you're stopping
in to Panorama's for some of their famous fried apple pies topped with
ice-cream, or spending a day drinking hot cider and picking your own
apples at one of our local orchards, your visit's not complete unless
you sample the real “peach” of this area.
