Hardpressed Beverages are available year-round at Mercier Orchards. We are currently the only apple orchard in Georgia that can say they grow, press, ferment, and bottle their own product. We sell a premium product that we can proudly label as Georgia Grown. Come in, enjoy a tasting flight, and you’ll be “hard-pressed” not to buy a bottle or two! Don’t forget to pick up some for your friends and family.
Hope to see you soon – Cheers!
