very nice…quick search shows that’s up in Ellijay. about 7 hours north of me through Atlanta…as much as I’d enjoy going the prospect of travelling through Atlanta is dreadful…(no offense to any Atlanta residents)…hah

Is no one else going to comment about the PEACH CIDER! :slight_smile: That really got my attention and sounds wonderful. I wonder if it is just some peach flavoring added to apple cider (not as exciting) or is it actually cider made from peaches? If it is the latter, then I’m very exited about it…any chance you tried it or know anything about it, Bill?

I think they are slushies, not sure why they put “cider” on it. What really caught my eye there was they also had muscadine slushy. I would love to try one of those!

If I had known about all the interest in the cider I would have tested all of them. The only one I tried was the muscadine and it was pretty much just an average slushie.

Sorry but I didn’t try it.

At another orchard in that area .Mercier I have tried both the Muscadine and Peach Ciders and been kind of disappointed as a good peach is possibly my favorite fruit and the complex flavors in some muscadine rank real high on my list as well, but that complexity seems to been lost in the cider I tasted. I prefer a good unfiltered apple cider to either.

Looks like a great place to visit with some excellent prices for Apples as well.

How are the GR and PL? Any nice yellow GR?

Both are very good. The GR was good when I got them. After a few days in the refrigerator they were even better. I wonder how much better tasting an apple can be.

I had a good trip and the excelllent price for top quality apples made the trip even better.

It was about a four hour drive for me. I tried to make the long drive more than going to the orchard.
