A full fall day in the Blue Ridge Mountains with Zillennial Collective. Apple picking, good food, community, and all the cozy fall vibes.About this Event
Spring Hike - Day trip
This spring we’re choosing adventure.
Join for a full‑day escape to Mercier Orchards, in Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.
About the Mercier Orchards: Mercier Orchards has been growing apples in the Blue Ridge Mountains since 1943 and is now a fourth-generation family farm spread across 300 acres.
And yes, there are 40+ varieties of apples growing here, so our apple-picking adventure might have you discovering a new favorite. 🍏
We’ll take a tractor ride through the orchard, spend time picking apples straight from the trees, and have plenty of time to explore the market and take in those mountain views.
Basically, if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to romanticize your fall, this is it.
This is a chance to meet new people, enjoy nature, and spend the day with a community of young professionals and creatives who love meaningful experiences.
Come solo or bring a friend. Expect good vibes, beautiful views, and a day you’ll remember!
