With farmers markets postponing their spring openings and supply chains shifting due to restaurant closures, we’ve received an overwhelming number of requests from readers who are searching for ways to obtain local goods and support local agriculture.
Lucky for us, our Lowcountry farmers, farmers market organizers and restaurants have produced innovative ways to continue to support the community in a time where access to nutritious food is crucial. Without reciprocated support, the livelihood of your favorite farmers could be negatively affected.
Here are some ways you can check items off your grocery list while #SupportingLocalFarms.
