B.J. Reece Orchards

BJ Reece Orchards is a cherished, family-owned orchard nestled in Ellijay, Georgia. We pride ourselves on maintaining a warm, welcoming environment where families can enjoy the gifts of nature. Our farm market & bakery are open all year, offering delightful treats like our famed Apple Cider Donuts and our world-renowned fried pies. Additionally, our market brims with locally made products and fresh, Georgia-grown produce.

Every fall, our orchards open up to welcome families for apple picking, a tradition that has spanned generations for many. Though our U-Pick season for 2024 has come to a close, apples remain available for purchase in our market. Our farm also plays host to a variety of fun activities, providing a unique farm experience that can be enjoyed throughout the week as well as on weekends.

Beyond produce, BJ Reece Orchards also caters to schools and groups with organized field trips available from September through October. We warmly embrace dogs on the farm, though certain areas like the petting zoo are off-limits to ensure safety for all guests.

We celebrate the beauty of our location and invite photographers to schedule sessions against the backdrop of North Georgia's stunning landscapes. While our apples aren’t organic, we employ integrated pest management techniques to ensure top-quality fruit with minimal environmental impact.
