One of my favorite places to visit! The orchards are beautiful and the store is fantastic with fresh bakery goods and so many great things to buy. Whether you are looking for a little gift or some great breads, fruits and veggies or even some fruit pies of so many varieties, you won't be disappointed. I have so many memories of this great place. Just pick up some pastries and go sit by the lake and enjoy the views.

This is a beautiful orchard!!! We took the Apple Blossom tour, and it was lovely! They have so many types of apples and products to explore and enjoy. I especially love th fact they have sampling stations so you know which things you like the best before you buy.We got Crimson Crisp Apples, Blackberry Sparkling Cider, Dried Apples, and Sugar Free Apple Pies. Everything we purchased was delicious!I highly recommend adding this orchard on your Blue Ridge Georgia Bucklet List. I'm looking forward to going back soon!!!

I had the best time here! I always get apples when I come through north Georgia and I'll definitely be back to Mercier. The gentleman conducting the apple sampling was very helpful and gave me excellent advice about which apples are best to can. The samples were delicious and I bought a full bushel. They also have a bakery, an extensive gift shop, and of course, I took pictures by the tractor. It was a great afternoon.

Great place!Quick tour on the tractor, quick bite at the bakery (but don't be the first one there they might not have everything out).You can walk the lap around the pond and sit and enjoy the view.Plenty of things to shop around for inside. Friendly staff.Be aware that this is considered a dry county and if here on a Sunday most places will not serve, or allow purchase of alcohol until 12:30

If you’re ever in Blue Ridge, I highly recommend you add Mercier Orchards to your “must see” list! The bakery items are fresh and delicious. My personal fav from the bakery is the apple fritter, it’s huge and they will heat it up for you if you ask! There’s a huge selection of different gifts, jerky, sweets, soups, wine 🍷, dips and so much more! There’s a bar inside that serves wine slushes and lots of other drinks. They even serve samples of all of their apples and you can buy the ones you love 😋 My favorite items were the apple wine and the Granny Smith Apple chapstick 🤩 I should’ve bought more so make sure you grab one - or five! lol

During my trip to Blue Ridge, Georgia I was taken to a local store for Mercier Orchards and found that this place had everything yes even Gluten free foods. I was so over whelmed with this store i had forgotten to take more pictures. This is a. "Must see" when you are in the neighborhood. It even has a Bakery in the back.

Mercier Orchards is like a dream come true for fruit fans. Their fruit desserts are super tasty, with pies, free apple tasting samples, desserts and preserves that are chock-full of natural fruity goodness.The best part? You get to enjoy all this deliciousness in a cozy, welcoming place surrounded by beautiful fruit trees. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy yummy treats, pick your own fruits and soak up the great outdoors. If you love food and nature, you've got to check it out!

They have about a million products here besides Apple stuff. Basically a huge gift shop. They have fresh fudge and fresh baked goods here as well. And of course apples! Everything was on the expensive side.

This place was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, we visited during the winter so we couldn't pick any apples or do the hay ride. We visited the market and had a good time trying the samples and visiting the bakery. We then went to the lake and were able to some nice pictures. If you're in or around Blue Ridge, this place is a definite must.

As a lover for Wine && Cider, this is a must to visit! They have Cider & Wine tasting! Make their own, as well as sell other wines. My favorite was their Blackberry Wine and I don't even like blackberries. The only negative I'd say, is how small their Wine bottles are for the price. They are half the size of a normal wine bottle, which are cute, but not for the price. Would love to visit again when it's Spring and see how the fields look!

Mercier is always amazing. Make sure you stop in and do a wine and beer flight made on-site. Then visit the Bakery for fresh baked goods and other treats.

After visiting nearly a dozen orchards in the Blue Ridge/Elijay area, i started at Mercier Orchards and it set the bar TOO HIGH.And that’s a good thing. However I do wish I would have gotten more apples from them before visiting others. There’s were very fresh.I went 30mins before closing and everything, aside from the cherry fried pies, were available. Which was disappointing, but understandable. I did get enough other varieties I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. The service was very pleasant and helpful.The ‘home goods’ side of the store has a higher quality than nearly every other orchard I visited. The jams and jellies are so good.In case you are the drinking type, they have an area when you walk in that is to the left of the registers where you can have cider tastings. Seemed a novel place for it.I will be back to explore more of the property. There were walking trails off of the parking lot and a beautiful rolling hillside and lake. This is a very special orchard, I understand why it’s so highly rated.

Check out the pictures… they seriously have it all: jams, hells, sauces, mixes, honey, beauty products, kitchen wares, wine, cider, meat, cheese, produce, baked goods…They also have the Cider Mill with tastings.

Loved it! So pretty outside, great views of rolling hills and orchards. Lots of places to sit. Food trucks outside and their store is great. So many options for jams, preserves and fresh fruit. Bakery was delicious (the chocolate coconut cream filled pastry was amazing!

We went during PRIME TIME! A beautiful fall afternoon. Due to it being later in the season we only had the opportunity to pick one species of apples (14$ per bag) however the fields themselves were not crowded, the tractor picked us up/dropped us off, water was sold on site for 1$, and the apples were so sweet and plump! Only reason I have to bring it down a star is lack of accessibility for wheelchairs throughout the entire facility, poor traffic management and lack of communication on the strollers policy. Aside from that beautiful view and great variety for family fun.

A very beautiful place with lots of yummies inside! We even came back to go fishing in their pond. Not many fish, but very peaceful.

We got married in the Blue Ridge area this past weekend and had pies from the orchard as our wedding dessert. They were all so delicious and everyone attending loved them! We stop by the orchard every time we are in the area and love everything we have gotten there. We would highly recommend any of the pies or apple cider donuts!

I was so excited about visiting Mercier Orchard, and it did not disappoint! The drive up was beautiful, and so was the orchard. There were so many different items to try. The apple slushie is amazing! We also purchased some baked goodies and apple peach cider. Everything was great. I highly recommend visiting!

100/10. Could not stop thinking about this place after I had left the first time! One of my clients told me about it & boy it did NOT disappoint. Everything we tried was insane. They have my favorite pie ever!! If you have never tried strawberry rhubarb, do yourself a favor & try it. They only had 2 strawberry rhubarb pies left when I got there the first time & I was over the moon to find my 🍓🥧 STILL WARM. HiWe also purchased the Pink Lady , Gold Rush & Fuji apples. I think Pink Lady & Gold Rush were my favs. I did get a gallon of apple cider which is insanely good. As well as the *drum roll please* THE 👏🏼 FRIED 👏🏼 APPLE 👏🏼 PIES 👏🏼. The best thing I’ve ever eaten. After trying just one, I knew I’d be back before my trip ended. Welp..went back today & got a dozen 6 apple, 2 peach, 2 black berry & 2 blue berry. I have not tried the others but boyyyy am I stoked! Also got a pecan bourbon pie for Thanksgiving! Excited to bring to the family dinner. Apparently they use real Kentucky Bourbon & the cashier told us that was her fav one. Lastly, got a 6-pack of boozy cider, bartender was a doll & gave recommendations. This place is a must go! 🏔️

What a great place to stop by for the weekend getaway from the city. They offers fresh fruits and vegetables, variety of apples, peaches, nectarines. The bake goods are to die for. Our favorites are apple fritter and donuts. Also the refreshment; such as lemon slushy and apple slushy are a must have. If you into alcohol, they have whole bar dedicated for you on the side. Outside we had the pop up stand of kettles corn and boiled peanuts. Fantastic experience, with staff being so nice and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was plenty.

I've heard so much about Mercier for several years and had their wonderful peach pies and apple butter when they're sent to our office. Oh but visiting the real place, seeing all the apples, getting to taste them, and the bakery!! And there are jellies, honey, soup mixes, and just lots of other amazing things!! You're going to love it!!💛💛

Update, 3/24: My husband and I took his parents. We did a tasting and got treats from inside. Since we visited during March, it was off-season. There was a sign so we couldn't enter the orchard, but there wasn't anything to see anyways.Original with edits, 11/21: My husband and I visited during our vacation. We absolutely loved this adorable place. What an experience. There were veryyyy few apples hanging during the time we went (November)- almost none, but we had a fun experience still. We love the honor system of being able to pick and apple or two. We found a cute sunflower field as well. The nature of the outdoor area was enjoyable and we happily didn't see any off-leash dogs since that's not permitted here. The indoor experience was nice as well. I liked being able to see the process of how they sort apples. A good amount of things to see and lots of options to buy.

I really enjoyed this visit! The location/scenery is beautiful. I liked the apple tasting. I have a new favorite apple 🍎 Ambrosia! The apple butter is delicious. They have so many great items to choose from, and I haven't been disappointed with any of them. We got apples, jam, pie, donuts, fritters lolDELICIOUS and worth the short road trip.

Our favorite apple orchard!! We have been visiting this orchard for years and appreciate the consistency we always find. The store is packed with great finds, stone ground grits, delicious jellies, fresh baked goods and of course the best apples anywhere!!

We had such a great time. So glad we could bring our dog. The line at the bakery was wrapped around the in side of the building but we bought 18 fried pies! They were delicious.

We were there in April - off season - this is a great stop. The bakery items were outstanding, and the staff was really helpful in finding items made on-sight or with their produce. Will come back every time we are in the area.

I love Mercier's and enjoy going in the Fall for the best apples.I also went in April and to my surprise, they had some apples. I bought the Crimson Crisp apples for making some applesauce and also to just eat. I wasn't sure what to expect, but to my disappointment they tasted musty after being stored so long. Well, live and learn!The other thing we love is their hard ciders! That's worth a trip anytime!

Fun apple picking experience! I recommend going early as possible, only because it gets hotter as the day goes on. The pastries and apple ciders are amazing. I will visit again :)

There are probably so many reviews about this place that I just don’t think I can add a lot. It was a great experience. I went there on my own thanks to a friend who recommended it as a good option for a we can plan. I went in and it was blueberry picking season which is not as fun as picking up apples but it is still very cool and you get to take what you pick the shop they have is very good and big and they have a ton of things and I didn’t stay to eat, but I tried some of the apple ciders they have, and some of them were very good, I ended up spending over $100 in products in that shop including the Seiter and some gifts for the family. I saw a lot of people with their kids which makes me think it is probably a very fun experience for the little ones as well.
