About This Farm
Windy Hill Orchard & Cidery on Black Highway at York is an apple farm with a cider bar attached, and its picking is unusually narrow by variety: the u-pick apple is Stayman Winesap, with a little of a newer variety, Crimson Crisp, at the start.
What You Can Pick
Apples, typically early September through mid-October, depending on the growing season.
What Else is Available
A farm stand and a cider bar, which is what most of the 570 reviewers came for.
Good to Know
Reservations are only required for apple picking. The farm stand and the cider bar you can simply walk into. The orchard publishes no price for the reservation or the apples: ring (803) 684-0690.
The stand opens 10am to 6pm Thursday to Saturday and noon to 6pm Sunday. The cider bar runs Friday noon to 7pm, Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday noon to 6pm.
Pro tip: Stayman Winesap is a hard, tart, old-fashioned apple that most orchards stopped planting decades ago. If you have only ever picked Honeycrisp, this is a genuinely different fruit and it makes far better pie.
