1. The owners of Klackle Orchards in Greenville announced that they'll be retiring next spring.
Steve Klackle and his wife, Rosemary, started the orchards back in 1978. Known for their large crisp apples and sweet peaches, the orchards offer everything from the chance to pick those fruits yourself to buying items made by them.
The farm market at Klackle Orchards will close on December 15. The land will be auctioned off in March.
