Because maybe purple is your favorite color, because maybe Summer vegetables make you fall in love, because if you let the eggplant melt in your mouth, then you feel the spices and then eyes closed you are refreshed by a bite of juicy summer (a tomato) because maybe yes…Tonight.

Local Produce

Where To Get Local Produce Outside Of The Farmers Market

Charleston’s Farmers Markets are fantastic places to get local produce and goods, they’re also just a nice way to spend the day. However, sometimes it’s not always possible to go to the farmers market. Maybe it’s closed for the season or maybe you spend your weekend doing other things. Where do you get local produce then? Luckily, the Charleston area has many farms that have markets or CSA programs. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In a CSA you buy a share of the farm to pay for the raising of the crops and in return you get a fresh supply of local produce weekly or bi-monthly. Check out the following farms and their CSAs.

They pride themselves on forming relationships with their CSA members.
