Aaron Family Orchards — Local services in Talking Rock

We stopped by today and discovered a true gem of a place!! First of all, inside the store, you can find many local products and whatever is in season! We bought fresh peaches that looked beautiful and ready to eat. We picked up some blackberry jam that they make and a few other small items but were absolutely delighted when Joshua told us that the sunflower fields were open for picking. For $10, we clipped the most beautiful sunflowers to take home and made some great family memories too. Joshua was so incredibly kind to us - he called over the animals on their farm so that we could see them - pigs, goats and a cow. And he even gave us his last blackberry fried pie, just because! We had the nicest conversation and it’s not everywhere that you can visit with the owner like that. It’s a family owned and operated business so supporting local businesses is always my preference and with this positive experience, we will surely be back in the fall for...

My husband and I stopped in yesterday as we are here in Georgia on vacation.and we’re checking out a few local farms to visit .. google indicated the farm was opened ..when indeed it was closed .. when we arrived we were met by owner Josh who stated they were closed and their season is May through December .. I explained that google was showing opened and that’s why we stopped by .. He was the kindest human ever . Josh insisted he could show us around and even gave us some apples to feed the goats and pigs .. He showed us his orchards and explained how they will begin to bloom in April .. He also showed us some photos on his phone from last season .. Josh thank you so much for your time and being so kind .. every time we come back to this area we will definitely visit .. And I sure hope you get your bakery soon! THANK YOU ! You made our day even...

Great family owned business. I felt welcomed before they greeted us. I saw freshly homemade caramel rolled out. After that, I was instructed to fill my bag to get my money's worth. (Noteworthy, apple orchards sell by fractions of a peck to a bushel. So being told if the bag will tie shut, there is no quantity or pound limit was heartwarming.)

They accurately described the taste and texture of cultivars I wasn't familiar with.

Then there is a small display near the register with apple fritters inside. The fritters looked good and the scent was crazy amazing. The fritter I had almost covered a standard paper plate. It provided me with 5 servings. Their apple fritters are perfection. The caramelized sugar on the peaks and edges were decadent.

If you want apples and experience hospitality from the old days, visit Aaron...
