Review

Panorama has an orchard, all you see is the farm market situated right along side a highway, so it sees a lot of tourist traffic.  Consequently, their prices are a bit higher than the others.  They have a very good selection and a huge number of pumpkins, plus homemade fried apple pies, apple butter, Ellijay apple bread and more!  They're very helpful and friendly!
