B.J. Reece Orchards

Dawsonville·All ages·Outdoor

B.J. Reece is the apple-country day trip: u-pick apples September and October, plus a fall lineup that scales with your ticket — petting zoo, farm slide, and corn box on weekdays, adding wagon rides, pig races, cow milking, a jumping pillow, cow train, apple cannon, and pony rides on weekends. The farm market and bakery run year-round, and the fried pies and apple cider doughnuts are the reason people leave with two boxes. It's up Highway 52 past Amicalola in Ellijay — a real outing, worth a full morning.
