Home Care In Campobello, SC

John Macomson’s entrepreneurial spirit sparked at a young age.

He grew up in Cherokee Springs, a rural community outside of Boiling Springs, where his family grew peach orchards. He remembers his mother and family often traveling to Hendersonville, North Carolina to pick apples to bring home and store. When he was just 6-years-old, he saw an opportunity with those apples.

“I found I could take the apples to school and sell them to kids for a nickel,” he said. “I think about that today, and I think, you were 6 years old and you were loading up your book satchel with apples, but it worked.”

Until a teacher stopped and halted his operation, of course. But that was just the beginning of Macomson’s business endeavors.

Today, Macomson owns and operates Carolina Software as a Service, Inc (CSaaS) and Fat Ass Heifer Cidery, part of Motlow Creek Ranch and Cider Company, Inc. in Campobello, two of many successful Black-owned businesses in Spartanburg County.

August is recognized as National Black Business Month, a time to celebrate the prosperity of Black business owners in the Upstate.

Computers, cows and cider – John Macomson does it all

When Macomson started college at Clemson University, he knew he wanted to work for himself.

“I ended up going into Clemson as an administrative management major and as part of that I had a computer science class, and I fell in love with computers,” he said. “I changed majors my first year and I didn't look back.”

Macomson graduated with an MBA, and eventually started his software company in 1994, first as an accounting software reseller. In the early 2000s, the company shifted gears from a reseller to designing and owning software solutions to sell to clients.

Today, CSaaS provides IT solutions and custom software applications to clients like the National Association for Campus Activities, the SC Department of Social Service and Spartanburg School Districts 1 and 3, among others. Many of the current clients are crossovers from when the company was a reseller.

“We know that we're small and almost all our customers are significantly larger than we are, so we like to think when a client trusts us to do something, it's imperative that we deliver. I think that's one of the things that sets us apart,” Macomson said.

However, when the software company hit a rough patch during the transition in the early 2000s, Macomson also invested in another passion – farming. Macomson had sights set on opening a recreation ranch with miniature cows as the draw.

“I got into cows. I wanted to have something I could do by myself without having to have any employees just in case I got into that situation again,” he said.

In 2014, Macomson purchased a farm that doubled the size of land he previously owned. With the 51 acres of property, Macomson combined the love for cows with something new – producing cider – and started Motlow Creek Ranch and Cider Company in 2015.

“I read an article about the upswing and hard cider and how that was coming back, and I like wine, and I'm thinking, I think I know a little something about growing apples,” he said. “But when we started doing more research and went to training on it, we realized there was a lot we didn't know about making cider. But we worked with it for a couple of years and got things going.”

After a few years of research about cider and what apples grow best in humid South Carolina weather, Macomson opened Fat Ass Heifer Cidery in June 2019.

“This gave us a chance to combine the two,” he said. “With the cows and the land, I found farming to be relaxing. I found the opportunities in farming today are not as we traditionally think of it. It's not so much selling a product as much as it is selling the experience.”

Macomson said most of his orchards are still young, but he’s growing 30 different varieties of apples on the farm. The two he’s most focused on are Harrison Cider Apples and Hewes Crab Apples. The cider names, like Sassy Black Baldie and Lowline Dirty Heifer, stick to the cattle theme.

There are ongoing plans to expand the ranch and build an event space on the farm that has a serene few of the mountains. The space will have a tasting room, gift shop and will hold weddings and other events.

While the COVID-19 pandemic brought some setbacks, Macomson said having the software company helped sustain the cidery during the summer of 2020. He said the timeline for the event space will be within the next few years.

Though the two companies could not be more different, Macomson says he uses the same mentality to run them both.

“On the entrepreneurial side, I enjoy looking at different ideas. I enjoy looking at things and trying to make them go,” he said. “While it's tense, at the same time, you don't really feel like it's work. You almost feel like, man, I get paid to do this.”

Fat Ass Heifer Cider is open Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is located at 10125 New Cut Road Campobello, SC.

The Seafood Spot brings authentic Lowcountry cuisine to the Upstate

Greg and Kenisha Brantley are both from the Low Country of South Carolina. With Greg from Hampton County and Kenisha from Beaufort, they each grew up around Gullah Geechee culture and Low Country seafood at its finest.

Five years ago, the couple moved to the Upstate, where their daughters were both studying in college.

“One day we wanted seafood and we started looking, and there was nothing like what we had in the Low Country,” Mr. Brantley said.

That’s when the idea to open their own restaurant took off. Mr. Brantley said he knew how to cook and still had plenty of connections in the Low Country. In 2018, the Brantleys opened their first location for The Seafood Spot in Greenville. The Spartanburg location opened not long after in December 2020.

“We had a lot of people coming from Spartanburg to eat at the restaurant ask if we would come to Spartanburg,” Mr. Brantley said. “The community has shown a lot of love in coming out.”

The Seafood Spot sources blue crabs out of Beaufort and shrimp when it’s available. They also get fresh seafood – oysters, fish and scallops – from Hampstead, North Carolina.

Opening the Spartanburg store during a pandemic created challenges, but Mr. Brantley said the restaurant relied a lot on friends and family to support the store as employees. However, the spot remains successful.

The most important part of the experience, Mr. Brantley said, is the origin of the fare.

“All the recipes are from the Low Country and passed down from generation to generation,” Mr. Brantley said. “It comes from our heritage, the history of the Low Country, where most of the slaves came out of it, and the Gullah people. It brings Low Country seafood to the Upstate. We cook it with love and we’re proud to be here in this community.”

The Seafood Spot is open Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is located at 200 Dawn Redwood Dr #600, Spartanburg.

An environmental group has appealed the conditional approval by the Spartanburg County Planning Commission issued last month of the site plan for an RV park near Campobello in northern Spartanburg County.

The appeal was filed Tuesday, April 4, in Spartanburg County Court of Common Pleas by Southern Environmental Law Center against the Planning Commission and Blue Sky Associates.

Frank Holleman, senior attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, said Blue Sky's site plan for the proposed T. Tree Farms RV Park "violates the county's Unified Land Management Ordinance by harming an ecologically sensitive forest, clean water and a rare and threatened species – the Dwarf Flowered Heartleaf."

Blue Sky attorney Alex Shissias issued a response on behalf of the RV park developer:

"We fully expected this and will be vindicated on appeal," Shissias said Wednesday. "The appeals are desperate attempts by these groups to control land they do not own."

Residents cite environmental concernsResidents say planned RV park in northern Spartanburg County could cause harm to environment

Multiple RV park appeals filed

The appeal is the latest legal maneuver by residents to try and prevent an RV park proposed for a 38.68-acre site at 1970 Landrum Mill Road.

Residents have said the roads are too narrow and winding to accommodate RV traffic, and that runoff from the site could pollute area streams that feed into the North Pacolet River. The river feeds Lake Bowen, a primary source of drinking water for the Spartanburg Water System.

Last month, the S.C. Environmental Law Project (SCELP) agreed to represent four Campobello-area homeowners groups that have filed an appeal with the S.C. Court of Appeals over the septic permit issue.

The appeal seeks to overturn an Administrative Law Court (ALC) decision issued Nov. 29 that reinstated the previously DHEC-staff approved septic permit. Earlier, the DHEC Board had overturned the septic permit.

SCELP claims DHEC staff did not properly notify residents prior to issuing the septic permit, leading to what the ALC determined was an untimely appeal by residents.

Holleman said SELC's appeal asks the Court of Common Pleas to reverse the Planning Commission's decision and vacate the conditional approval of the RV park site plan.

Holleman: RV park plan fails to address site's ecology

Holleman said the developer's site plan fails to take into account the presence of the rare plant or the existence of ecologically sensitive areas, which the county's Unified Land Management Ordinance requires.

"This beautiful forest, clean stream and very rare plant are important parts of Spartanburg County's natural heritage," Holleman said in a statement. "The site plan approved by the Planning Commission would do real harm to this special place."

The S.C. Native Plant Society has also joined opponents in fighting the RV park plan.

"You can't find this plant anywhere else in the world, and this development is not designed to protect this special plant and its habitat," stated Kathryn Ellis, president of the S.C.. Native Plant Society.

RV park plan first approved two years ago

At issue is a proposal by a developer, Blue Sky Associates, to build T. Tree Farms RV Park on a 38.68-acre property at 1970 Landrum Mill Road east of Interstate 26 and southeast of Landrum in northern Spartanburg County.

The Spartanburg County Planning Commission gave conditional approval on March 2, 2021. The approval required the developer to obtain public water from a new line extended from Interstate 26, a DHEC-approved septic system and a traffic plan approved by the county's engineering department.

At that time, Planning Commission Chairman Whit Kennedy said Blue Sky's plan met all requirements laid out in the county's Unified Land Development Ordinance.

In June 2021, DHEC staff issued a septic permit to the developer. And the four homeowners associations representing more than 100 members and three conservation groups appealed to the DHEC board of directors.

In December 2021, the DHEC board voted to rescind the septic permit that was issued by DHEC staff in June, stating the developer's application was flawed because it proposed an undersized septic system.

Nearly a year later on Nov. 29, 2022, the ALC overturned the DHEC board's decision, ruling that the board "acted outside of its authority" and that the residents' request for final review was not timely. The ruling reinstated Blue Sky's septic permit that was originally approved by DHEC staff.

Then on Dec. 20, 2022, the homeowners' groups filed an appeal with the S.C. Court of Appeals. The case has not yet been heard.

New RV park plan gains conditional approval

On Feb. 8, 2023, Blue Sky Associates withdrew the original plan and submitted a new application to the county Planning Commission, which reduces the number of RV spaces from 50 to 49; and states that drinking water will be provided by an on-site well instead of a public water line.

Shissias also said the decision to drill an on-site well instead of obtaining a public water line was made because of opposition to the public water line from residents. He also said the state Administrative Law Court (ALC) reinstated a septic permit issued by DHEC staff in June 2021, so that has been addressed and not needed as a new condition.

Last month, the Planning Commission voted 6-2 to approve the new site plan contingent on approval of a stormwater permit, and an on-site well permit from DHEC.

Shissias said the developer has no plans of withdrawing its RV park plan.

"These are not people who are into RVs near them," he said last month, referring to the opponents. "They don't want people like you or me with them. They don't want an RV park in their backyard, period."

Greenville News

CAMPOBELLO, S.C. – When Duke Energy, using a subsidiary, purchased a 199-acre pasture in Campobello in March to build a new substation, it paid a premium.

Duke paid more than $10,000 per acre more for its property than the next closest recent land-only sale in Campobello. Last year, land on Frontage Road sold for $15,000 an acre. Two years ago, another site sold for about $7,500 an acre.

Duke paid $25,000 an acre when it purchased land for $4,963,500 from former Spartanburg County Councilman Frank Nutt on March 30, according to the property deed.

Duke Energy plans to build a new 500-kilovolt substation on the land as part of its $1.1 billion Western Carolinas modernization plan.

Duke set off a firestorm of criticism from residents and business owners in northern Spartanburg and Greenville counties and western North Carolina when it recently revealed plans to erect new high-powered transmission lines to run between its new transmission station to a proposed natural gas plant on Lake Julian near Asheville.

The substation, which Duke said it wants to build in 2016, would be home base for the new project.

Critics have pointed to the high price Duke paid for the land as antithetical to its commitment listed on its project website of minimizing the costs to its customers.

Nutt, a developer and cattle farmer, purchased the largest chunk of the land in 1994 and added several adjoining parcels in 1997, 2007, 2013 and last year.

Nutt said this week he’d purchased the property as an investment and used it mainly for his cattle to graze.

He said he wasn’t looking to sell, but was approached by a real estate agent who wanted to buy it for a client.

“He never would tell me who it was and I, of course, was curious,” Nutt said.

Nutt said he found out Duke Energy was the buyer when the utility released a press statement to announce the project months after he’d sold the land.

“I was willing to sell it but was not looking to sell it,” Nutt said. “I had not listed it and had no immediate plans to sell it.”

A company called TBP Properties LLC bought the land. It was formed in 2006 and is listed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as one of six South Carolina-based Duke subsidiaries.

“We occasionally use a subsidiary, like many large companies, when we do not want to lose our negotiating position,” said Meghan Musgrave, a Duke spokeswoman.

Asked why Duke paid a premium for the land, Musgrave said the company doesn’t discuss its negotiations.

Duke considered property size, proximity to existing infrastructure, ecological and physical characteristics of the property and overall impact to the community, Musgrave said.

“We feel this site is the best option that meets all of this criteria, and we worked with a property owner that was willing to sell,” she said.

Nutt said though he initially wasn’t planning to sell, he was surprised he was able to negotiate such a high offer.

After he found out who the buyer was, Nutt said he can’t imagine a better use for the property than as a substation.

“There’s no noise. There’s no pollution. There’s no traffic from it. There’s no odor,” he said. “Probably a horse farm or a cattle farm would have more of a nuisance than this would.”

Patrick Knie, an attorney and neighbor to the property who has taken legal action to find out more information about the project, said he found it amazing that Duke would pay $25,000 an acre “because you could buy all the land you want up there for $15,000 an acre.”

Realtors opposed to Duke’s plans also questioned the sales price and showed comparable sites sold for far less.

Duke paid more per acre than every other large (20 acres or more) land-only purchase in the Upstate or Polk County in North Carolina except one in the last five years, according to an analysis of data from the Multiple Listings Service. The one higher price was for 22 acres on Highway 101 near BMW in Greer.

The average price-per-acre of land sales in the last five years was $5,145 per acre.

Nutt turned around and purchased 675 acres from Pacolet Milliken on Rainbow Lake Road in Spartanburg for $2.3 million, or $3,400 per acre in April.

He’s preparing some of that land for pasture now, he said.

Duke will continue to gather comments from stakeholders through mid-August on a proposed route through the mountains for its transmission lines. Then it plans to announce a route by the first of next year, Musgrave said.

Meanwhile, residents are already having their say following a series of three meetings Duke held to show the proposed routes and gather information.

More than a dozen have already left comments with the South Carolina Public Service Commission on a page set up to collect comments as they await Duke’s proposal, said Dukes Scott, director of the Office of Regulatory Staff.

More than 3,000 have signed a Change.org petition to stop Duke’s project.

The transmission lines would allow Duke to import power from Asheville as well as export power from South Carolina so the utility can use the most cost-effective type of generation available, Musgrave said.

It would allow Duke to connect its Duke Energy Progress systems in North Carolina to its Duke Energy Carolinas system in South Carolina, she said.

“All generation that is routed through substations and transmission lines will now be connected to the entire system throughout this region, she said.

Duke plans to complete its transmission lines project by 2019.

Offered in March: U-pick Tulips at Thompson Family Farms

As some of the first pops of color to emerge from the ground, tulips are a welcome sign that spring is here. Fresh-picked tulips make excellent gifts, centerpieces, and decor. Plus, it is so much fun going out to a U-pick patch and selecting the flowers yourself. It’s pretty joyful.

Check out some of the beautiful scenes waiting for you at Thompson Family Farms.

For 2024, you will find the u-pick tulip farm at Thompson Family Farms Campobello location! If you picked pumpkins are sunflowers in 2023, then this is the same location.

The Flower Patch at Thompson Family Farms is open seasonally in March. The length of time the patch is open depends on the weather and bloom time, and the season is very short, but so worth it. It is stunning. Upick begins Monday, March 11th, 2024!

Tulips are synonymous with the cool, breezy weather of early Spring. You can u-pick from 9 varieties of tulips throughout the short season. They have multiple colors, including pink, red, yellow, white, and variegated orange/red, and more.

Be sure to stay on the paths when walking through the flowers. In addition, if you cut the flower, you buy it. Be sure it is the flower you want before taking your scissors to the stem.

The Thompsons recommend cutting the flower at the length that you want, and we found cutting low on the stem to be best for us. Most importantly, make sure to not dig or stomp on the bulbs, as they will be left in the ground to bloom again next year!

Once you have all of the tulips you would like, you can head back to the tent to have them wrapped in bouquets. If you plan to pick a large number of tulips, I recommend bringing something sturdy like a box to take them home in, so they are safe from damage.

Other than the obvious photos of you and your children amongst the flowers, The Flower Patch also has two lovely photography setups on the property. If you head to the far ends of the fields you will find a red tractor set up with a rustic farm vibe of window panes and flower buckets that make for some adorable photos!

There is also a pallet-style backdrop with a chair and blooming flowers to take pictures with. The property itself is situated in a field that is surrounded by trees, so there are many opportunities to get that perfect spring picture.

Photographers who are interested in renting the space can contact Thompson Family Farms directly through their sign-up link to book private sessions. There are a limited number of sessions available due to the short season for tulips. Private sessions occur from 5 pm until sundown.

Admission is $8 per person for ages 12 and older. Children under 11 and under are free to attend. If you want to participate in u-pick, Tulips are $1 per stem. Flowers will be wrapped in a bouquet for guests at checkout. The farm does take cash, card, and Venmo.

Please follow the farm’s guidance for cutting and watch your step to ensure that the other tulips are safe for other people to enjoy their u-pick experience.

Sara Thompson, the owner of The Flower Patch, recommends making a fresh cut before putting your flowers in their water vase once you arrive home. You should then display your flowers out of direct sunlight. She also mentioned the fascinating fact that tulip stems continue to grow once placed in water, so they may appear to be longer after a few days in the vase. Be sure to change out your water regularly to elongate your bloom time. And most importantly, enjoy!

Pumpkins in the field are precut from the vine to ensure that underripe pumpkins are not picked. Any pumpkin still on the vine is not ready to pick, so please do not pull on their stems!

There will also be prepicked pumpkins, Indian corn, corn stalks, and cotton stems for sale as they continue to ripen throughout the season.

While at the farm, be sure to head to the sunflower maze! The maze is 7 acres and is a great way to spend some time with your kids doing a scavenger hunt. You will find scavenger hunt papers at the front counter, which include clues to the educational maze.

There are flowers of various sizes, shapes, and oozing oils that smell delicious. It does get hot in the midday while crushing through the maze, so bring water and wear hats.

There is not much needed to get some amazing photos, but Thompson Family Farms has created some special areas to get those Pinterest-worthy shots. There is a pallet-style photo backdrop surrounded by sunflowers, a fun “face in the hole” sunflower wall, and even some adorable bamboo bean pole teepees near the entrance that make for some adorable photos.

Thompson Family Farms 13820 SC-11, Campobello, SC

CAMPOBELLO, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - A controversial proposed RV park in Spartanburg County took a step forward on Tuesday.

The potential park on Landrum Mill Road in Campobello has been in the works for two years, and the Spartanburg County Planning Commission is giving it the OK.

“The threat to all of this is real. Health, safety, the environment,” said Sally Rock.

Rock is part of a group of neighbors fighting these plans.

They’re concerned about safety on the narrow road and environmental impacts.

“It’s not harmonious development to dump that type of septic sewage next to a conservation area, to add 75,000 vehicles through there,” she said.

Alex Shissias is the lawyer representing the developer, Blue Sky Associates, LLC., and believes it comes down to neighbors not wanting an RV Park in their backyard.

“Last time I checked, this is America. And you’re allowed to do with your land what you’d like to do,” he said.

An initial application for the development was granted conditional approval by the Planning Commission in March 2021.

Neighbors filed an appeal for a septic tank permit approved by DHEC staff. That appeal was successful, and the DHEC board rescinded the permit. The permit was reinstated after a challenge to the South Carolina Administrative Law Court because the initial appeal was filed too late. That decision by the Administrative Law Court is now being challenged by neighbors and their lawyers.

A new application for the RV Park was submitted in February, the two changes from the previous application were making the lot from 50 spaces to 49 and changing the water supply source.

Spartanburg County Planning Commission voted 6-2 to grant conditional site approval on Tuesday. The approval is contingent on receiving approvals from Spartanburg County Public Works for a stormwater permit, SCDHEC for a well permit, and withdrawing the previous application from 2021.

“We have no doubt they’ll appeal the planning commission decision to the circuit court and then to the court of appeals, and in the meantime we’re going to proceed on with our other permits,” said Shissias.

While Tuesday’s meeting did not include a public hearing for this development, one person was given five minutes to speak, but neighbors say they want more opportunities to make their case.

“It’s a clearcut situation of the people being denied an opportunity to be heard on a major development in their community,” said Rock.
