Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on 138 acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another. Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more! Today, the farm offers tours for visitors which offer incredible views and a visit to their horseshoe lake. Educational in nature, the tours leave guests more in love with the land than when they arrived. The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website as is farm tour info, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake. The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. Brandies, Bourbons and Whiskeys are aged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains. The farm also boasts a challenging 18-hole Disc Golf course. The course is open to the public and the cost is $3 per game or an annual pass offering unlimited games is available for only $25. The holes are placed throughout the farm enabling play even when private events are taking place on the property. The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier. Beef is offered in a variety of cuts boxed ahead for you when you call to order. A complete list of options is offered on their website with ordering instructions. Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com. When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, the minister or officiant, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place! The 2017 Eclipse Festival event planned on the farm August 21 will include music, camping, great food, distillery and farm tours, craft vendors and astrology talks and it will be unforgettable. Get your tickets today at SolarEclipseFest2017.com. Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever!

Perfect Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ed & Kitty’s farm. We stayed lakeside where there is a gorgeous morning view and a dock to jump off of or to launch your paddle board. You can wander through the orchards picking your own fruit and visit their store with many homemade items. Be sure to book a tasting at the distillery with Eric! You won’t regret it! We hope to return soon.

We will definitely be back.

We loved our long weekend camping trip at Chattooga Belle Farm over Labor Day weekend. Our two boys, two labs, and my husband and I had the best time. Between swimming in the lake, fishing, running through the rolling hills, farm animals, the orchards, and the distillery we couldn’t pick a favorite thing we did. We loved camping next to the lake. Lots of trails and waterfalls close by. The general store is close by and an easy stop to grab whatever you may need. We will definitely be back and we will bring more friends next time!!

Beautiful camping and lake

My daughter and I had a wonderful time camping at Chatooga Belle Farms! The property is beautiful, the lake is amazing, and the campgrounds were very nice. We really enjoyed swimming off the dock, apple-picking, and visiting the distillery and farm store, where everyone was super nice, accommodating, and fun. The campgrounds were clean and spacious. It was clear that it was first-come-first-serve and it in no way ruined our trip, but personally, I'd prefer if there were assigned and spaced out sites that you could choose and that each had a picnic table and firepit. It would avoid people camping right in front of the dock and would help space people out. We had no idea how many people were coming and how much space we could take, so we ended up setting up too close to another family. But that certainly didn't ruin anything for us, we still had a great time!

Lakeside Tent

Great spot, best to arrive in the daytime. Surprisingly few bugs that bite. Chatooga river just around the corner.

Great spot to camp for the weekend.

Had a great time here. Very cool area in general. Fun little distillery/store on the property and close to a few parks and rivers. Camping at the lake was great and would highly recommend.
