Mercier
Orchards is Southern Living Magazine's "favorite
roadside apple market," according to
the October, 2002 edition. "If you come
for no other reason, you must sample the fried
apple pies and cider," the article says.
"The cooks create some of the most memorable
pastries, fried pies, fritters, doughnuts
and dumplings that you will find anywhere."
For 50 years, the Mercier family has been welcoming visitors to taste
the fruits of the mountains - that's a lot of tourists and a lot of
fruit! Mercier's is a major tourist attraction, bringing hundreds of
busloads of visitors to Fannin County year after year. The orchard
grows almost 20 varieties of apples, including Gala, Red and Golden
Delicious, Jonagold, Rome, Stayman, Granny Smith, Braeburn, Fuji and
others. Other seasonal fruit also is available, including peaches,
blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, along with locally grown produce.
Mercier's bakery doesn't just produce the most
famous fried apple pies in the mountains -- also peach, blueberry,
chocolate and coconut,
among others. The apple house offers a huge selection of jellies,
jams, smoked trout and other gift items to create gift baskets for
the holidays.
The orchard recently added picture windows in the bakery and fruit
processing areas to allow tourists to see the action firsthand. Tourists
can also "pick their own" apples in the fall.
