Kiawah River Farm:
digging in for fresh, sustainable, local
Sea island tomatoes are famous for good reason—part of a legacy of farming, sunshine and good soil.
There’s more. Heirloom vegetables, fruits and berries, flowers, beef cattle, goats, honey bees and hens are all raised here on Johns Island, the agricultural hub of Charleston.
Farm share—the value of agriculture + neighborhood
Welcome to Charleston’s first “Agrihood.”
By providing tillable acres in partnership with neighboring farms, Kiawah River is creating cooperative ways to foster connections between residents and local growers and producers. The centerpiece is the Kiawah River Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program, in which residents are able to buy shares of a growing season in advance.
Sustainability
The CSA helps to sustain local farming, supports the local economy, and brings doorstep deliveries to Kiawah River. Residents then have ingredients for delicious, healthy cooking—including herbs and lettuces, fresh-cut flowers, honey, free-range eggs, and even local-raised beef.
