That’s a Wrap!

That's a Wrap!

It's hard to believe the grant year has come to a close. We've learned an incredible amount over the past year and are grateful to have been given this opportunity to bring sustainable farming to the City View and Woodside communities. In the past year, we've set up a business, cleared an overgrown plot of land, developed the site, and grew a whole lot of lettuce! Thank you to our partners and the fantastic community that helped make it all possible. A special thanks to our neighbors, local ... continue reading...

Bye, Invasives! Part II

Kudzu Crown

We won a grant to remove invasive plant species and now we're sharing the knowledge we gained from working with the South Carolina Exotic Pest Plant Council (SCEPPC). Depending on how overgrown the area is, there are a couple options SCEPPC recommends for dealing with invasive plant species. There’s a natural hormone in all plants called indoleacetic acid. This hormone is what allows a plant's root system to form and grow. It’s also what's responsible for creating the characteristic crown ... continue reading...

Lettuce Rejoice!

Legacy City Farm Harvest Lettuce

Following GAP protocol during and post-harvest (practice makes perfect), we harvested about ... continue reading...

Farm Update: May 2017

Farm Update: May 15th

GAP Certification & Harvesting We’re well on our way to having a post-harvest processing system, which means we're almost harvest-ready! This is all thanks to Legacy Charter School, who has allowed us to use a building on campus (a space we simply call the blue building). We have the alarm code and keys to the building, the roll door will be repaired soon, and our field sinks are fitted and ready to go! We’re still working with CFSA to plan a site visit and mock audit for GAP certification. ... continue reading...

Goodbye, Invasives!

SCEPPC President, Bill Steele, and WCF Farmer, Jason Schmidt, work to remove kudzu.

Big news! We were awarded a $1000 grant from the South Carolina Exotic Pest Plant Council (SCEPPC) for management and removal of invasive plant species. We'll use grant funds to remove invasive plant species including Bradford Pear, Mimosa, Honeysuckle, Wisteria, and Kudzu. More than 100 million acres in the U.S. are impacted by invasive species, yet plenty are still sold. We're looking at you, Bradford Pear, Mimosa, and English Ivy... Managing invasive, non-native plant species is ... continue reading...
