Hillcrest Orchards

Visit the most popular apple orchard and farm market in the North Georgia Mountains located near Ellijay, Georgia. Hillcrest Orchards is a seasonal business and is only open during the months of September, October & November. Hillcrest is family-owned and operated and has been growing apples and fun for children, adults, and seniors since 1946. 

WEEKDAYS: Admission is $12.00 per person (walking age & up). Includes the petting farm, wagon rides, and all our playgrounds- including the giant slides.

The bakery is open every day and offers goodies such as fried apple pies, apple cider doughnuts, and our famous apple fritters.

The market is open every day and has bushels and bushels of tree-ripened apples, cider, canned goods, honey, baskets, peelers, toys, and so much more. So, plan to fill your shopping bags here. 

WEEKENDS: Pick your fun at the annual "Apple Pickin' Jubilee," where you can pick your own apples, milk a cow, watch swimming pig races, and enjoy live bands and cloggers on the Hillcrest Stage. 

The Country Cafe and Hillcrest Grill are open on festival weekends and serve burgers, hot dogs, BBQ, fries, grilled corn on the cob, chicken on a stick, fried Oreos, funnel cakes, ice cream, and lots more.

Bring your camera to capture those magical fall memories.
