Delicious homemade ice cream, apple and muscadine slushies- out of this world delicious! A whole lunch menu- the cheeseburgers are delicious! And my favorite summer time treat- homemade strawberry shortcake- it was enough for 3 people and was only $5. And I think they are open every day- worth a visit and you'll keep coming back for more!

We were tubing about a mile up the road and the owner told us we HAD to come get a peach slushy and…read morepeanuts from the peanut man if he was out. While on the river it stormed real bad and we obviously got soaked. We ran into the store (with our bathing suits on but we were wearing shorts over our bottoms) it was very obvious we were just tubing and all the customers were asking if we got caught in the rain or if we had a good time (light and fun conversations through out the store) until we got to the back counter and clear as day the lady behind says to her coworker "wow they could've at least put on shirts" IF there had been a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" sign we wouldn't have entered but we didn't see one and thought it would've been fine. Clearly it was not and the "ladies" in the back were not very polite or friendly. We took the drive to Merciers Orchard the next day and the service is 100% more pleasant.

Why five stars for Penland Orchards and Farm Market? You have a choice of the larger one across…read morethe street or this Penland. We did both and liked both for its apple and farm products. This Penland has a working Farm History flavor hanging on the walls...a mini museum of tools used in the Orchards and farms. At this Penland we had a chance to chat with the two friendly ladies at the counter. We received samples of their slushie drinks so as to make the choice a better one. What is Scuppernong?? One sample was that big juicy Black/Purple skinned grape Muscadine ... that was a winner. We browsed thru the store's wide aisles and finding items there that you know and want. A ton of apples and Penland history backs up this Orchard and Farm market. It will be a return trip in the future for sure. But next time we will time it for the many varieties of Penland Georgia Peaches.

Located before Elijay if heading north, we decided to stop here on the way home to Forsyth county…read more Compared to the other store across the street, this is a smaller location. Staff is very friendly. Not as many options though, i liked that you can pick and choose your apples and not be restricted to a large bag of only 1 variety. The apple cider slush and crumble cookie were good. Parking is conveniently available in front of the store.

Another absolute must-visit when you're in Ellijay…read more Let me start with the food -- because wow. By far some of the freshest and most flavorful apple pies I've ever had. Not "good for a farm market"... just flat-out amazing. The kind of pie you immediately start thinking about on the drive home. Their produce selection is equally impressive. We're talking everything from purple carrots to vegetables I didn't even know I needed in my life until I saw them. On top of that: homemade candies, jars of jam with flavor combinations I never would have imagined, and yes -- chow chow. If you've never had chow chow, do yourself a favor and try it. Game changer. But what truly makes this place special is the people. The ladies at the register were older, sweet, hilarious, and full of personality. One of them even flirted with me -- I had to tell her, "You can't handle this ride, grandma!" The entire exchange had me laughing the rest of the visit. In the back, a group of women were playing mahjong, just enjoying life, laughing, and clearly at home in the space. That energy carried throughout the whole market. It's the kind of place that feels lived in, loved, and genuinely warm. Even the guy outside in the parking lot collecting carts, casually smoking a cigarette, was one of the chillest people I've met. Everyone there just seemed... happy. Comfortable. Real. This place put a real smile on my face. Not because it's flashy or fancy -- but because it's authentic. Good food, good people, good energy. I already can't wait to go back. If you're in Ellijay and you don't stop here, you're doing the trip wrong.

The greens are amazing and absolutely delicious. The farm grows, cultivates and sells all of them not to mention fresh eggs and other things as well. This was my very first visit but my friends has bought greens from Circle A for some time and will not buy here lettuces anywhere else. And now I feel the same way after seeing their lettuces and greens. They have: Bibb lettuce, Micro-greens, Arugula, Romaine, Mixed Greens etcetera. The pricing wasn't to terrible for what you are buying and because it's grown Hydroponic, it's well worth it!! Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of pricing which was their cooler door. Next time for sure. Also loved where it's located, off a country road which gave it all the charm needed for growing their lettuces and the cute Farm House which is nice and clean inside not to mention orderly.
