The most fully documented orchard in this Oconee County batch, with per-pound u-pick pricing, a farm store, a bistro, and an on-site distillery — but no confirmed 2026 season dates.
U-pick apples sold by the pound, $1.50/lb; farm-store pre-picked apples $2.00/lb, $10 half-peck, $32 bushel (Honeycrisp priced separately)
Chattooga Belle Farm sits at 454 Damascus Church Rd in Long Creek, in Oconee County — part of what the record calls South Carolina’s main apple belt, bordering Hendersonville, North Carolina. According to the source_note, the address, hours, pricing, and variety list were all read directly from the orchard’s own website (chattoogabellefarm.com) on 2026-09-03, which makes this one of the better-documented entries in this batch of South Carolina orchards.
The farm store keeps Mon-Thu 9am-4pm and Fri-Sun 9am-5pm hours, and Belle’s Bistro runs Wed-Sun 11am-2pm — two separate schedules worth noting if a bistro stop is part of the plan. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are offered. Seven varieties are named: Fuji, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Mutsu, Ginger Gold, Honeycrisp, and Gala — a spread that covers early (Ginger Gold), mid-season (Gala, Honeycrisp), and late (Fuji) ripening windows, though the record doesn’t say which varieties are ready on which weeks.
This is one of the more specific pricing records in the batch, and the mechanics are worth spelling out because they differ from a simple flat-bag model. U-pick apples are sold by the pound at $1.50/lb. Farm-store pre-picked apples cost more per pound — $2.00/lb — but there are also bulk options: a half-peck for $10 or a full bushel for $32, with Honeycrisp priced separately from that flat rate. In practice, that means the cheapest way to get a given quantity of apples here is generally to pick them yourself, assuming picking your own is part of the appeal rather than a chore. Buying in bulk at the farm store narrows that gap somewhat, but the per-pound math still favors u-pick unless Honeycrisp specifically is what’s wanted, since it’s the one variety carved out of the bushel and half-peck pricing.
Distinct from the other Long Creek orchards in this batch, Chattooga Belle Farm pairs apple picking with a genuinely different set of activities: a hayride, a disc golf course, distillery tours, and hiking trails, on top of the farm store itself. That’s a wider activity list than any other orchard in this Oconee County group, and it changes the calculus of a visit — this reads less like a quick pick-and-go stop and more like a destination that could reasonably fill a half-day, particularly if a distillery tour or a round of disc golf is added to the apple picking.
The record is honest about one real gap: there’s no confirmed 2026 season-start or season-end date. The source_note explains that no explicit season-date text was found on the orchard’s own site as of the research read — the site doesn’t appear to post a hard opening or closing date the way some orchards do, or if it does, it wasn’t visible on the pages reviewed. That means a visitor with the variety list in hand (early Ginger Gold through late Fuji) has a rough sense of the picking window across a season, but no specific weekend to circle on a calendar without calling ahead. The phone number in the record — 864-647-9768 — would be the practical way to confirm current picking status before driving out.
Chattooga Belle Farm has the most complete pricing and activity picture of any Oconee County orchard in this batch, straight from its own website: per-pound u-pick pricing, bulk options at the farm store, a genuinely varied slate of extra activities, and a seven-variety apple list spanning early to late season. The one thing it doesn’t offer is a confirmed calendar date — anyone planning around a specific weekend should call ahead rather than assume the posted hours mean the trees are ready.
The variety list runs from early apples like Ginger Gold through mid-season Gala and Honeycrisp to late Fuji, so the record supports a visit anywhere from late summer into fall, though no specific 2026 opening or closing date was found on the orchard's own site.
Long enough to cover u-pick, the farm store, and possibly a stop at Belle's Bistro or the disc golf course — the record lists enough on-site activity to fill a half-day.
