A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Georgia.

  • Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Great family experience! We visited B J Reece Orchards over the weekend and had a wonderful time. It’s a great place to visit with family — there were plenty of apples to pick, and the orchard views were beautiful. The marketplace was large and had a great selection of local goods, treats, and apple-themed items. Lines to checkout were so long tht many left without buying anything. They have 3 U-pick areas so be prepared to walk. There are lots of fun activities for kids, including animal petting, the giant hamster wheel, corn pit, apple cannon, and slides — definitely something for everyone! The general admission tickets are reasonably priced at $13 and expensive one was $36 that includes all activities. Their apple bags start from $10, $20 and $40 I believe. Be prepared for lot of walking and a bit of a wait in lines, especially on weekends, but it’s absolutely worth it for the overall experience. We’ll definitely be back next season! 🍎”

“Apple picking is a must during fall. This year we decided to go to B J Reece Orchard. Its a great place with multiple activities for all ages. They sell tickets in different prices and packages. The cheapest one is $13 per person where you can enjoy some of the farm activities. You can also per for the activities individually if the activities are not included in the package. They are from $3 to $5. The apple picking bags comes with three different prices $10, $20 and $40. We got the two $10 bags for the apples and it fills in with a good amount of apples. There is also a tractor ride which takes you to the apple picking. We went there after the rain so it was a little muddy. Overall, its a great experience. There is also a shop where you can buy apples, donuts, and different products made from apples. There are other orchards in the area where they serve apple cider and apple cider donuts for FREE. Here a dozen donuts were $10.”

“Traveling through Georgia, we spotted a sign for the “world’s best fried apple pie” at B.J. Reece Orchards — and obviously, we had to slam on the brakes and investigate. Priorities, right? Let me just say… the sign was NOT lying. My husband and I both agree it was hands-down the best fried apple pie we’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy, warm, gooey apple goodness, and basically everything you hope for when you hear the words fried apple pie. Zero regrets stopping here! We didn’t get a chance to try the apples, cider, or the jarred goodies this time (which just means we have an excellent excuse to come back). When we do, you better believe I’ll be back with an update! If you’re passing through, do yourself a favor and stop. Your taste buds will thank you. 🍎🥧”

“As soon as we got home we started apple tasting with the variety of apples from B.J. Reece Orchards and it was such a fun surprise. I’ve never seen an apple with red/pink markings inside—so cool. They also have jellies, preserves, ciders, and more. Beautiful place, friendly vibe, and a great stop if you’re in the area.”

“Visited in January, still apples and plenty of great options. We got a bundle of apples, blueberry scones, red velvet cookies, honey sticks and peppermint rounds. Everything was great definitely less in the winter than the Spring through Fall, but still a great shop with classic options.”

“Stopped by while staying at a nearby cabin. Very friendly staff. And supposing… Great selection of apples. And Jams / jelly. Their fried pies are amazing. If you’re in the area definitely check them out”

“Family friendly cider tasting company. There were lots of yard games, live music, lots of cider options, non alcoholic cider slushes for kids, indoor and outdoor seating, and a food truck.”

“It's nice to have several activities after picking apples. However, there are so many people on Sundays that it is complicated and the queue is long. I went there last week, but there weren't many apples already. The lines are too long for markets and bakeries.”
