Visit http://www.georgiaapplefestival.org

So, why does Georgia celebrate apples anyway? In the early 1900′s cotton was a large part of Georgia’s economy, but by the 1920’s the boll weevil beetle arrived and practically ruined the cotton industry. Apple orchards saved the day for Georgia, and Gilmer County, by bolstering the economy. In the early 1970’s, Georgia started celebrating the apple for saving the local economy during the hard times created by the loss of the cotton crops.

Ellijay apples are "absolutely the best". When you pick Ellijay for apples you get the juiciest, crunchiest, and yummiest apples of them all. Nestled in the mighty Appalachian Mountains, Ellijay is the center of Georgia's apple country. From late August to December, roadside stands overflow with the most scrumptious mountain apples around. And when purchasing directly from the growers, the apples are better tasting, fresher, less expensive.

Come on out to Ellijay, Georgia this October and stay at The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort. Enjoy the resort with all its amenities as well as its close proximity to the Apple Festival. Make it a weekend autumn getaway filled with sweet adventures for all! For more information or to make reservations:
