Local Thanksgiving Food

Earthsense

It’s difficult to believe, but Thursday is Thanksgiving!  And while you’re making plans to host or visit family and friends, think about getting your food locally.

From the green beans in your green bean casserole to the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato pie, and even the turkey search around your community and your farmer’s market for local Thanksgiving provisions.  By buying locally you help support the local economy and local farming families.  And because local food doesn’t have to travel as far to arrive on your table, you’re helping our environment, too.  Your farmer’s market is the best place to start, but check the Certified South Carolina grown database for listings of farms and local retailers near you.
