South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation: Voice for Agriculture

 
   Why Buy Local?
                                               
Here are a few reasons to visit
SC Farm Bureau Farm Fresh Roadside Markets:
 
  • Premium Taste. Maximum Freshness. Produce picked and eaten at the height of ripeness has exceptional flavor.
  • By choosing local produce from our  SCFB Roadside Markets and pick-your-own farms, you pay for taste, not transportation.
  • Getting to know the local farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust.
  • Your locally spent dollars strengthens the local economy, helps local farmers stay in business, and allows them to maintain the rural landscape for future generations.

The 2007 growing season caused tremendous difficulty in parts of South Carolina. Many livestock producers have found it difficult to maintain feed supplies. Hay is in short supply and grass is almost non-existent on some farms.

In response to this  hardship, we are publishing where hay or forage may be available. Click
