Embrace autumn with Georgia’s best apple picking destinations

Apple season has arrived in Georgia, so it’s time to start picking. Bring your family and your basket to these orchards throughout this fall:

• Hillcrest Orchards: With their Apple Pickin’ Jubilee going every weekend until Nov. 5, it’s the perfect time to head to Hillcrest Orchards.

• B.J. Reece Orchards: Pick up an apple picking basket and pick up tasty seasonal apple varietals, such as juicy Stayman Winesaps and Crimson Crisps.

• Red Apple Barn: With your admission fee, you not only get to pick your own apples, but you also get the additional sweet treats of cider and a doughnut.
