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!

RV Site #2 - Partial Hookup RV

I loved the land and the location it is beautiful. Nice walk to the lake and being able to walk all over was a plus for me. I enjoyed being able to have a the distillery right there close. Everyone was very helpful, fun , informative and pleasant. What I wasn't fond of site 2 doesn't really have picnic area/fire pit the people who stayed in site one took over the whole ENTIRE area and there was no camping etiquette followed with kids running through your campsite beginning at 7am every morning being loud kids, hard to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the farm, this is not the owners fault. The farm store is nice. I was shocked to learn of not having winery (some strange SC law). Enjoyed the tour of distillery learned a great deal fascinating all the work gets done there!

My friends and I (a group of 7) had such a great time tent camping at Chattooga Belle Farm! We camped next to the lake, and it was a beautiful, quiet atmosphere with the changing leaves. During the day, we explored the bistro and farm store, which had delicious food and the most gorgeous views. Afterward, we went to the distillery which had a cozy vibe and great service. There was a large group of campers outside of our group there on Saturday, but we still had plenty of space and privacy. I would definitely camp there again.

This farm is an amazing place to stay! We camped close to the dock, enjoyed paddling and swimming in the lake. Walking to the distillery and the farm store through the rows of apple trees was also a great experience. Would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful yet fun-filled retreat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved camping Lakeside at the Chattooga Belle Farm. Made camp towards the back of the lake and had tons of space for our size-able crew. Leading up to our stay, Ed and Kitty were so responsive to all of my questions and provided us with plenty of recommendations…It truly was an amazing experience. Also highly recommend visiting nearby Brasstown Falls (maybe a 10 minute drive) for a short hike with 3 gorgeous falls.

Beautiful property, not private.

We camped in the dispersed area, had a great spot right on the lake, beautiful property. Unfortunately other campers showed up and decided to set up very close to us, so not very private. We could hear the wedding reception music on the property until about 9:15, and a nearby group of very loud college kids could be heard until about 2am. Overall, the experience was not great, but I might give it another shot and choose a more private campsite.
