Nice , clean facility. Bathrooms we pristine with an attendant working hard to keep them that way. The were out of some products but thats mainly because of Covid and being short staffed. We like to visit Mercier on our trips to Blue Ridge.

I wanted to visit this place because of all the good reviews. The store is nice and has different varieties of jams, butters, seasonings, ciders, bakery, etc. I went off season so I can’t comment in regards to the apple orchard. I bought an apple pie, apple cinnamon bread, 6 pack of cider, 1/2 dozen of apple cider donuts, apple wine and two glasses (each glassware was under $4). My total came to $90!!!! I was shocked at how expensive this place is. The cheapest things were the wine and beer glassware. I think I was overcharged because my receipt said 2 apple cinnamon breads and I only bought one. After trying the food and cider that I bought I wasn’t impressed with any of it. For those who want to visit just be cautious with the extreme prices!

We are sorry our prices were higher than you expected. We work hard to keep our prices down, but like many local businesses we have seen significant increase in costs in the last year or so.
You are welcome to contact us regarding your double charge of the bread. If you have your receipt, or some details about your purchase, we would be happy to take care of that. Please email any pertinent information to lworrell@mercierorchards.com.
We hope you still had a nice time in the area! We look forward to hearing from you.

So much more than apples! All the jams, breads, meat sticks, and ciders you could imagine. We are staying just down the road and I have stopped in 3 times in a few days just to get cider. But then I tried the apple cinnamon bread, and my goodness, it was like heaven in a bite! Most of the workers I came across were super friendly and helpful.

I want to go back when the apple season is fresh, by that I mean, when there are more apples. This was such a pleasant shopping experience. "Not into apples ", yu might say. Well, I had mumbled that also, but there is more than just apples. This is an orchard. They have more than just apples, although apples are the main thing. The staff were very friendly. I do hope to get back there when the season starts gain.

The cafe is closed, they are short staffed, and not near as many products on the shelves. Still offer wine slushies and draft beers. Ice cream no longer served with the fried pies. We also visited in late December so not really prime time for visitors. Disappointed in the visit, but still 4 stars as can sympathize with their situation.

This place use to be great until they lost their way. The place has expanded so much and raised their prices to the point they should be compared to a Orchard Disney World. Their prices and food quality use to be great, however, that ship has sailed.
I would recommend trying some of the smaller mom and pop orchards that are in the area. They are priced better and the food quality is good. Not to mention you don’t feel like you are at Disney World type venue where you are being gutted for every dollar they can get from you.

Mercier is always a fun place to visit and shop. Their fried pies are to die for! There's fewer items on the shelf compared to pre-pandemic but you can still find a lot of good produce and other stuff there. The place is crazy busy and most items are a little high on the pricing but it's still a fun family outing. Please be patient with the employees because they are short handed!

Very good service, lots of products. Lots of local made items. The coffee coated glazed pecans are yummy. The apple cider donuts also a treat.

There is outdoor seating on the left side before you walk in, while the cafe is on the right side of the building. If you purchase at the cafe simply tell them you would like to go sit there.

I read somewhere that aside from apples, they also grow (and you can pick) various other fruit like peaches and strawberries, but every review and picture I see here seems to only mention apples? Which is the case?

There are signs all over Blue Ridge. Just take Hwy 515 and you will see the signs to turn left on old Hwy 5 and just follow the signs to the parking lot and entrance to Mercier Orchards.
