"At this South Carolina farm you can pick multiple varieties of apples in the orchard as well as pears, figs, and muscadines, and during summer months the farm also offers berries and peaches; stick around for lunch on the expansive patio with sweeping orchard and mountain views. Around the corner is a micro-distillery making brandy, gin, whiskey, and vodka from the farm’s muscadines and apples, and a tasting flight showcases the distillery’s products—often accompanied by stories from the distiller himself. Relax on the covered porch or by the fire pit, and be sure to visit the field next door to see the farm’s llamas and Boer goats; check the U-pick schedule and follow on Facebook for updates." - Robbie Medwed
