Passed by this market on our way to horseback riding in Mineral Bluff. As soon as we saw it, we…read morewere tempted to stop by but we had an appointment. We decided we would on our way home. Corner Market sells locally grown and sourced vegetables, fruit, honey, cheese and more. They also serve boiled peanuts and corn on the cob. We had the option of original or cajun boiled peanuts. They also offer butter and seasoning for the corn. We had to get one of each! The peanuts and corn were warm and exactly what we needed. Will stop again if we're back in the area!

Cute market to pick up local fruits and vegetables. They were a little on the high side for some of…read morethe items, and others were fair. The boiled peanuts regular and Cajun were really flavorful. So was the roasted corn. We picked up a blueberry jam that we haven't tried yet. My group purchased pork sausage that they all said was to their liking. The market is located in a spot with a gas station too. If you find yourself here, try the boiled peanuts and enjoy!

Another absolute must-visit when you're in Ellijay…read more Let me start with the food -- because wow. By far some of the freshest and most flavorful apple pies I've ever had. Not "good for a farm market"... just flat-out amazing. The kind of pie you immediately start thinking about on the drive home. Their produce selection is equally impressive. We're talking everything from purple carrots to vegetables I didn't even know I needed in my life until I saw them. On top of that: homemade candies, jars of jam with flavor combinations I never would have imagined, and yes -- chow chow. If you've never had chow chow, do yourself a favor and try it. Game changer. But what truly makes this place special is the people. The ladies at the register were older, sweet, hilarious, and full of personality. One of them even flirted with me -- I had to tell her, "You can't handle this ride, grandma!" The entire exchange had me laughing the rest of the visit. In the back, a group of women were playing mahjong, just enjoying life, laughing, and clearly at home in the space. That energy carried throughout the whole market. It's the kind of place that feels lived in, loved, and genuinely warm. Even the guy outside in the parking lot collecting carts, casually smoking a cigarette, was one of the chillest people I've met. Everyone there just seemed... happy. Comfortable. Real. This place put a real smile on my face. Not because it's flashy or fancy -- but because it's authentic. Good food, good people, good energy. I already can't wait to go back. If you're in Ellijay and you don't stop here, you're doing the trip wrong.

Had to stop in and get me and my husband's absolute FAVORITE olive oil + balsamic vinegar combo…read morewhen we were in the area last weekend with friends! This little shop is adorable and the staff here has always been extremely sweet and welcoming (as any small town business generally is). There were three young ladies working when we popped in and you could just tell they genuinely loved working there and with each other. The best vibes!! I even said to my husband on our way out, "maybe there's something to be said for small town living like this.. maybe this is what our daughter needs as her childhood and first job." If you're looking for the most delicious bread dip that's citrusy but also a little sweet - you must get the Milanese Gremolata olive oil and pair it with the Lavender balsamic vinegar. I also decided to grab a Pomegranate balsamic vinegar as well because my eye caught it immediately and I think it could be another delicious pairing with the Milanese which leaves that citrusy-lemony flavor on your taste buds. So excited to try it out with some warm French bread!!

Super friendly, helpful staff! Loved the tastings and walked out with some great Mother's Day gifts.read more

We had a blast with our neighbors on Sunday (even in the afternoon heat). My toddler had so much fun picking her own apples and riding the tractor and little cow train. This orchard is huge and the store was filled with all sorts of jams, jellies, salsas, apples, pastries and the line to the cafe was almost out the door (for the fried pies, I presume). I did get some salsa and came home with more than a dozen fresh picked apples of a few different varieties. You are able to snap a picture of the map upon getting your tickets so you can decide which apple varieties you want to pick. Absolutely stunning views from the orchard fields and will definitely come back again next year!

In the back, there's a beautiful gallery featuring stunning photos of North Georgia available for purchase. The candles and soaps all smell amazing; it was tough to choose just one.

We arrived and entered a small barn that has all sorts of jars and jams full of things like salsa, seasonings, candy, and most importantly - fresh apples.

Better luck for us next time.
