What they do
Ables Orchard is a cornerstone of the Long Creek/Mountain Rest agricultural community in Oconee County, SC. They specialize in hand-picked apples and peaches, maintaining the regional tradition of apple cultivation in the state’s only suitable climate for the crop. [[the-orchard|The orchard]] grows a range of varieties including early Ginger Golds and heirloom Arkanasas Blacks and Yates.
Why it’s listed
The orchard is listed for its IPM leadership and legacy preservation. As a partner in Clemson University’s MyIPM program, Ables Orchard utilizes data-driven pest management to minimize chemical usage in a challenging humid climate. By maintaining commercial viability for heirloom apple varieties and hand-harvesting every piece of fruit, the operation serves as a critical heritage node in the Southern Appalachian food system.
