This past weekend, I--and everyone else from Atlanta, apparently--headed to the North Georgia mountains for the Ellijay Apple Festival. The traffic was heavy, but my heart was light.
Actually, I wasn't headed for the festival, but rather for Mercier Orchards, about an hour and a half north of Atlanta in Blue Ridge.
Trust me, it's worth the ride.
The place was pleasantly abuzz with tractor rides to the fields for U-Pick apples. Inside, I made a beeline for the apple cider, apple cider donuts and pimento cheese (with the surprise of corn and pimento peppers).
I can also report they've added refrigerated gourmet products including cave-aged feta chese, tasso ham and French sea salted butter. Perfect fall picnic fare.
They are open 7 days a week. Log onto: http://www.mercier-orchards.com/.
