Organic Process Media Farm made this video about Green Heart of Charleston for a County School Sustainability Contest. The Green Heart Project pairs volunteers from the Charleston Area with urban youth in an effort to teach the knowledge needed to build a sustainable future while instilling the virtues of hard work and success through building an urban garden together.
Organic Process is happy to be working with the Green Heart project and documenting their efforts as they work hard to grow food on school grounds and teach students math, science, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and community stewardship, through hard work and working together.

Green Heart's first school garden is located at Julian Mitchell Elementary School in downtown Charleston. The project provides the students, teachers and community with a rich, urban agricultural experience, resource and teaching tool and not to mention tons of fresh produce!

All Oyster Man Mike wanted from this was "a walk down the red carpet, a couple of cold ones, and a chance to shoot the shit with some good folk." Now he can add another honor to the list. We recently saw Mike at an oyster roast on John's Island and we are happy to report he is doing great!

In our first year we had over 100 people in the Lowcountry of South Carolina sign-up for delivery of fresh veggies. Louise Bennett and Sidi Limehouse really are the best farmers in the Lowcountry and have been feeding the people around Charleston for over 25 years. Rosebank Farms CSA is the best around; offerring pick-up and delivery in the tri-county area and also offering flowers boquets, fresh eggs, and dairy. To join the CSA visit the Rosebank Farms website.
