Reece’s Cider Company: A Taste of Ellijay’s Apple Heritage
Whether you’re a local or a traveler, a stop at Reece’s Cider Company during your visit to Ellijay is a must. The journey began in the 1960s when B.J. Reece founded the renowned B.J. Reece Orchards. Today, his grandson, Taner, a fourth-generation farmer and Ellijay native, carries on the family legacy alongside his wife, Sarah. Having grown up among the orchards, Taner developed a deep appreciation for the land and its bounty. That passion now fuels Reece’s Cider Company, Ellijay’s first cidery known for exceptional hard ciders using fresh, orchard-grown apples straight from their farm.
A Cider for Every Palate
From crisp and dry to bold and sweet, Reece’s Cider Company offers sixteen different hard ciders on tap. A local favorite, Ellijay Apple, is a semi-dry flagship cider made from a blend of the finest apples and fermented at low temperatures for a bright, crisp finish. For those who prefer something sweeter, Poppy’s Pick offers a rich, flavorful experience. This cider was created in honor of Taner’s grandfather, fondly known as Poppy, who had a passion for crafting sweet wines.
Savor the sweetness of Georgia with the Georgia Peach, a fruity cider crafted with fresh peach juice and Reece’s signature hard cider base. New to the menu is their latest creation: a fresh-pressed, non-alcoholic sparkling cider. This gluten-free beverage offers a delicious, alcohol-free option without sacrificing flavor.
More Than Just Cider – A Full Experience
Reece’s Cider Company stands out for its warm, family-friendly atmosphere. After choosing a glass (or flight) to sip on, enjoy live music and delicious bites from rotating local food trucks, including favorites like Smokin’ E’s BBQ and Geno’s Donuts.
