South Carolina farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash in the coastal areas and river valleys. European settlers brought rice farming to the coastal lowlands and cotton to the inland areas. South Carolina also became known for growing excellent peaches, especially in the Sand Hills region where the soil drains well. The state's warm climate allows for a long growing season and diverse crops.
South Carolina has three main regions with different soils and climates perfect for different crops. The coastal plain has sandy soil good for peaches and other fruits. The piedmont in the middle has clay soil and rolling hills good for cotton and other crops. The mountains in the northwest are cooler and good for apples and other cool-weather crops.
South Carolina peaches are ready to pick from May through August, with the Sand Hills region producing some of the best peaches in America. You can pick strawberries from April through June when they're sweet and perfect for making preserves. Watermelons grow well in the warm climate and are ready to pick in summer. The state also grows good apples in the mountains and blueberries in various areas.
Spring and early summer are great times to visit South Carolina farms when peaches and strawberries are ripe. Summer can be hot and humid, so early morning visits are more comfortable. The state has beautiful scenery from mountains to coastal areas, with farms in many different settings. Many farms offer tours and tastings of local specialties like peach ice cream and strawberry shortcake.
