Georgia’s Hillcrest Orchards Has Hayrides, A Corn Maze, And U-Pick Apples Galore

Pure autumn magic—that’s what we all hope for when the temperatures start to take a dip in Georgia. Even just that first chilly afternoon, we can practically smell the hay, feel the weight of the pumpkins, and taste the apple cider donuts. If you’re like us and you LIVE for the fall season, then we have an orchard in Georgia that you must add to your bucket list. Get ready for hayrides, corn mazes, apple cider donuts, and so much more.
