    Apple cider
    Brennan S.

    I think my review may be hurt because the weather that day was so cold and rainy. It's cute! Don't get me wrong. And I love their Apple room with all their different type apples! We got their Apple cider, cinnamon apple donut, and apple fritter. The Apple cider and cinnamon apple donut were really good! But their Apple fritter was disappointing. I think if it was warmed it would have been better. There is also no indoor seating (which usually is probably not a problem). But since it was rainy and cold we couldn't sit outside, and there were zero seats inside, so we went back to our car to eat. Everyone was very nice and I would go back, but I would also have better expectations

    Rainy day

    It began as a rainy day at the orchard after a visit to a nearby Apple Festival, that brightened up as we enjoyed our time picking apples. It felt like the perfect day, honestly. The autumn vibes were in full swing! It's a bit expensive, but I knew what to expect. I chose the smallest bag to collect my apples in, and we got started... of course not before petting and looking at all the adorable animals in their pens. We wandered off on the path to search for apples. The staff advised us to go deeper in since people had picked already from the closer trees. The smell of the apples that had fallen and were fermenting was absolutely delicious. It smelled like cider! I think this was my first time picking apples! I had a great time. After our adventure, we went across the street and enjoyed hard ciders. A great day!

    UM I could hang out here alll day. In fact, I'm mad i didn't bring my laptop. The ladies out front are so delightful and very knowledgeable about their ciders. Gave me some GREAT recommendations! Indoor mezzanine level seating, outdoor patio where there's games, a giant chair for photos, plenty of seats and tables for when they have live music, an indoor area with another bar, TVs and a fire place AND another outdoor upstairs area with plenty of seating options. Came on a gorgeous sunny but fringed Tuesday mid day on my way back from the falls and it did not disappointed. Had a flight consisting of the Ellijay apple (crisp the way I like it), Ol Red (has a cherry taste. I liked it and m I don't normally like cherry!), the Imperial (my favorite and also 9%), and one I thought i would love because it was fermented in a whiskey barrel, the reserve at 9.5%, but it was a little too dry, bitter with no real smoky honey or Apple taste it was just bitter. Definitely my least favorite. but that's just a few that I tried. There were plenty more that I wish I could've sat here and tried them all, but I encourage you to come and try as many as possible. I did not check out the bakery or U-pick Um option but I honestly looove this spot. Thank you my fellow Yelpers for the recommendation! If it's not wine or whiskey, cider is my next jam and this was it!

    We had a great time having the cider flights. Nice atmosphere. Food trucks sometimes there. Why don't they sell pies at the tasting house?

    This place has a lot of potential to be really great, but has a way to go. Seeing the animals was fun for the kids. The market had a decent selection of baked goods, preserves and vegetables. We picked up some pumpkins. The workers were friendly. Nice views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. I think my disappointment is more with the apple picking. It's the tail end of the season so there wasn't much to pick, for starters. And to get to the places to pick, you wait for a tractor to give you a lift or you take a hike. Signage was terrible. Even the online map of the farm was poor. It was very crowded and pricey for what we got. I don't think I'll be back.

    A great place to spend a fall afternoon! My partner and I didn't pick any apples, but we did have an amazing time trying their cider options! I loved picking out a flight to taste a little bit of a few options, and the blackberry one was my personal winner. Their pours and cans were reasonably priced, so we bought a few to-go. Even though the place was busy the staff made sure to keep lines moving, and everything was clean. The outside seating gave you a little more room to spread out.

    My friend and I were out in the area and tried this place out. They have plenty of parking and they have food trucks in case you want some food. They have set flights you pick from for your tasting. I wish you could mix and match. The cider was good. You can buy most of them in a growler I wish more came in cans. Overall good cider and location.

    Just had a great time visiting this lovely orchard recently. We purchased a variety of their apples and loved them all. The fried pies were insanely good. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Their frozen apple cider is beyond delicious. Hubby got some of their hot sauces too and we ran across the road to get some hard cider to go!

    This apple orchard pales in size to its more famous sister down the road, Mercier Orchards but I found its wares more delicious and appealing. Their hard cider is less sweet and the sweet potato and pecan hand pies were delicious. I also bought a glass jar of cider and peach jalapeño jelly that was delectable. Use your debit card or bring cash to avoid paying credit card fees.

    Can't wait to come back next year! I am currently coring my apples for pie. My fav is the apple cider peach Slushie. If you have time get some live music and cider across the street. We also took home another 6 pack of cider so we can have some all fall. A fun weekend outing!

    BJ Reece Orchards is pretty much as good as it gets for Apple farms. Whether you choose to pick your own apples with the U-Pick option or go to simply go to their store and buy freshly picked apples and other delicious apple treats, BJ Reece is a solid option when visiting Ellijay. The service is friendly in the store and the atmosphere feels like a busy but well run Apple farm where you can get all kinds of different types of apples. Their apple pies are wonderful and you get a small discount if you buy 6 or more. As for our favorite apple cider, we've tried different flavors such as strawberry cider, or peach cider but we find the best is the original apple cider. Overall, BJ Reece gets a solid 5 and a big thank you for being here.

    Incredible ciders and Chrissy was extremely friendly and helpful. Many ciders to choose from. This place is a great location to hangout. Plan on spending of time here. Game areas and lots of different areas to relax

    Love the market here! Variety of apples, honey, produce, baked goods, and etc! Upset that it took this long to go to an Orchard as I thought I would be chased by bees so missed out until now though we haven't actually been apple picking. I wish BJ Reece had a separate charge for just going inside the Orchard as it is super pricey for a photo op that we wanted as it offers lot of activities for kiddos. However we wouldn't be doing any of the activities so definitely not worth it for us. On our first haul, we picked up September Wonders and Shizuka! Shizuka is more crisp and unsweet but you can glaze honey over it and it is amazing! September Wonders are small but sweet apples! Can't wait to go back for more! Also loved their honey, apple cider, and fried apple pie! Food wise, I wasn't a huge fan and we went over to R&A where they have better options~ Oh and don't forget boiled peanuts! Overall, worth the drive out and would recommend going super early to beat the crowd! Also Pet friendly except for the Market! Lastly, make sure you double check your purchased item! Was super upset to find out that my apple crisps were missing when I got home.

    Don't go during the week. All they focus on is field trips. They dont care about other people visiting the farm
