Gilmer County has long been known as Georgia's Apple Capital. High on a hilltop in the Flat Branch community, Ellijay Mushrooms has been steadily growing its crop production and customer base since the first harvest in 2018. The 36-acre farm is part of more than 150 total acres where the American Dhamma Society is centered and hosts meditation retreats.
