So after leaving Hillcrest Orchards on Sunday I headed just a mile up the road to B.J. Reece Orchards. With rows upon rows of apple trees filled with people picking their own delicious fruit, the orchard has been family owned and operated for decades. Need a break from picking apples off of branches? Then check out the petting zoo or take your best shot with one of the orchard’s apple cannons. Or pick up a freshly made pie, cake, doughnut or loaf of bread and have a snack. No matter what you do definitely check out this orchard for some family fun in the North Georgia Mountains!
