At Holtzhauser Farms, the impact is stark. Owner Tom Holtzhauser said peach trees that would normally be full are now bare.
"There should be peaches up and down on these limbs. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds," Holtzhauser said.
Instead, he said, a freeze over two nights in April wiped out the farm's entire peach crop.
"You put your faith in Mother Nature and think that they're going to take care of you every year. These are years that sometimes she gives you a whippin'," he said.
Holtzhauser said he has reported the damage to the local Farm Service Agency office and is waiting to see whether the U.S. Department of Agriculture will provide assistance.
The effects are being felt beyond individual farms. At Rosie's Farm Market nearby, shelves remain stocked, but some prices have increased amid widespread crop losses.
"Rosie's has it all - that's our motto. Will it be a little bit higher? Probably," said Lisa Westermann of Rosie's Farm Market, which is in its 65th year in business.
Fruits most affected include stone fruits such as cherries, plums and peaches. Westermann noted that prices have risen compared with a typical season.
South Carolina peaches are about a dollar more per pound.
She added that the freeze impacted early crops along the East Coast, creating challenges in maintaining both variety and affordability.
"Right now we usually sell Florida vine ripe tomatoes, but the prices - where they would normally be $20-25 a box - were up to $90 a box," Westermann said.
In addition to weather-related losses, she said, higher costs for gas and fertilizer are also contributing to increased prices.
Even so, farmers say customer support is critical this season. With reduced yields and higher expenses, many say they are more reliant than ever on sales to offset losses from the spring freeze.
