Just 1.5 hours outside Atlanta, visiting Hillcrest Orchards has become a fall tradition for many families. The orchards are family-owned and operated and have been growing apples since 1946.
Watch as bakers make apple pies, cider doughnuts and fritters through a large window in the bakery. You can also get a cup of pure apple cider or order a “slush” for a refreshing taste of fall. From jellies and jams to pickles and hot sauce, the market is filled with locally-sourced treats.
We take great pride in our family farm and agritourism destination and plan to continue providing wholesome family entertainment as we share our farm with you.” – Hillcrest Orchards
