The Gusmers grow specialty and antique apples, which are ready to pick every 7-10 days from August to Thanksgiving. Importing additional apples from North Carolina to meet the demand, Windy Hill Orchard produces up to 35,000 gallons of cider a year, hundreds of dozens of pies and doughnuts, 500 quarts of apple butter and countless icy apple cider slushies. Windy Hill Orchard continues to grow and involves the entire family.
Windy Hill Orchard is the only working orchard and cider mill in South Carolina. Educational farm tours, hay rides, stories and cider making are offered to guests.
Windy Hill Orchard is open from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, mid-August through Christmas.
