Fall may not technically start until later this month, but the arrival of Labor Day signified the start of the season in many ways. Football is here, all kiddos are back in school, and apples are ready for the pickin' in North Georgia. Here's a map to show you where to get your apple fix just a short trip away from Atlanta.
With a wide array of apple varieties, B.J. Reece's offers the chance to pick your own apples in their orchard, through Nov. 1. For those who want some fauna with their flora, there's a petting zoo and other activities.
Touting "boutique" apple varieties, Freedom Farms is hardly a one-fruit kind of place. While it may be apple season now, they also grow peaches, which is rather appropriate considering this is the Peach State.
For those keen on cider, the name says it all. Featuring a variety of ciders manufactured onsite, the orchard caters to those who may prefer drinking their apples.
With dwarf apple trees, Hillcrest Orchards offer the chance for kids to get in on the apple-picking action without the need for a back-breaking boost by parents.
Located up in Blue Ridge, Mercier has been harvesting apples for more than 70 years. And for those who like their fruit fermented, they now feature a winery.
Focusing not just on apples but an array of fruits, the Jaemor Farms store features jams, jellies, pies and honey. And for those looking for a challenge, they've even got a corn maze.
