UPICK: Callaham Orchards, Belton

Berries go really fast so get there as soon as they open if you really want them. The season usually begins with strawberries in April and runs as late as October for pumpkins.  They were adversely affected by the later frost in March 2023 so they aren’t sure exactly of timing of produce.

Where to pick your own peaches

After strawberry season comes peach season. The official state fruit of South Carolina is generally a summer fruit, harvested between June and September. Fun fact: South Carolina outproduces our neighboring peach state of Georgia in annual peach production! On average, South Carolina farms will yield about 60,000 tons of peaches annually.

Fisher’s at Taylors

The 94th season is opening on April 7th, 2022 at Fisher’s Peach Orchard. If you grew up in the Greer area, you probably went to The Peach Shed on Hwy 290 a couple of times and you for sure ate ice cream at Dillard’s.  When I was little, we went and picked peaches and blackberries and then went home and made pies.  Those childhood memories were so amazing, I’m starting the tradition with my son this year.  The Peach Shed is now called Fisher’s at Taylors. 

Fisher’s has grown into three Greer locations, including Fisher’s Pick Your Own (650 Fisher Road), Fisher’s at Dillard’s Ice Cream (504 S. Buncombe Road), and Fisher’s at Taylor’s (1001 Locust Hill Road).  If you’re looking for fresh fruits (including locally grown strawberries!), this is the place to go.  Their spring hours begin April 2022. Their PYO farm may open in the summer when the fruit is at its best, but is dependent on the weather and crop for 2022. See their Fisher’s Orchard Facebook for up-to-date information.

Jeter Mountain Farm

A new farm on our list, Jeter Mountain is located about an hour north of Greenville in Hendersonville, NC. They have u-pick peaches, apples, grapes, and even elderberries. The u-pick orchard will open late July 2023. Read our review here.
