Fresh Future Farm

Fresh Future Farm Black-led urban farm and grocery store planting seeds of justice in North Charleston and beyond

Fresh Future Farm is a .8 acre urban oasis bursting with seasonal veggies, fruit, and herbs. Founded to bring affordable high-quality food access and jobs to a disinvested community, the farm aims to grow the quality of life that its neighbors deserve through quality job training, educational opportunities, garden kits, and an onsite USDA store that sells hyperlocal produce and specialty groceries at prices customers can afford.

Who's been here since the farm store opened its doors?! It's been a long and beautiful journey over the years, and now it's time to pour back into the store!

This building has been integral to our operations. Not only has it helped feed so many folks, but it has also supported local businesses and farmers.

Through the meetings, storytelling, special projects, inventory restocks, million dollar ideas, the laughs, the tears, the Farm Baby joy, dance parties, and so much more this store embodies our vision for Food Justice for ALL!

There's still time to support our Farm Store revitalization that will support the much needed repairs to preserve this part of our operations.

As a reminder, this week is the last week to shop the Farm Store before our winter break begins!! We'll kick off 2025 on an abbreviated schedule as repairs are underway!

You've seen farming videos from our Co-Director of Education and Operations but when it's time to build a structure to fix a challenge, the smartphone goes and away and the Mr. Fixit hat goes on.

"I don't think about it, I just imagine the end result and do it." He's brilliant but he's also just one person working for an organization with a tiny construction budget.

Support from licensed and bonded contractors gives FFF the chance to realize many of the other improvement projects we've dreamed of over the years. https://buff.ly/4eVCD4a

Did you catch Anik's video from earlier today? Enjoy this collage of the behind the scenes of our mural back in 2019 🎨

We love sharing our work through art and that is reflected through different art installations around the farm, thanks to our resident artist, Anik!

If you're still tuned into our posts for today, thank you 💚

If you've been to the farm, it's likely you've seen and/or walked this path heading into the store!

Seeing all of these photos in the midst of planning this revitalization is a great reminder of just how far we've come! The two photos on the left are from 2017 when the walkway was being built. Though it was just in 2017, you can see the difference in growth between then and the photo on the right when it was rebuilt in 2021.

Now when you walk in you see fruit trees, herbs, and of course the mural detailing Chicora/Cherokee's history!

This is the last week to come to The Farm before our winter break (W-F 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday 8 am to 3 pm). We will reopen on January 8th at noon!

How was this almost 11 years ago?! Today we're reflecting on our progress over the last 10 years, including every person that has poured their time and energy into the space. If you have supported our work in any way since 2014, THANK YOU!!

As we have shared before, our grocery store's building was donated to us by Jones Ford when the farm was in its' early days. Now almost 11 years later, we have a lengthy to-do list for repairs to get the store back to 100%.

This we are looking for licensed and bonded contractors to donate their time and support this effort! We’ve also received $11,000 for solar panels. We’re raising matching funds to contribute to material costs.

Stay tuned today to see what we've got up our sleeves for FFF's 2025 Revitalization!

🧱 solar panel installation
🧱 movers
🧱 subfloor repair
🧱 exterior repair/painting
🧱 bathroom remodel
🧱 portable storage unit

We're also raising $11,000 towards miscellaneous expenses associated with the improvements.

Still feeling the amazing energy we experienced earlier this month unconference in Boston!!

Here’s just a few of the highlights:
🎨 Amazing murals highlighting the history of Dudley St in the Roxbury neighborhood as well as historical Black activists!
✊🏾 Abolition Nutrition workshop that broke down mass incarceration and its role in the agricultural industry from an abolitionist lens and highlighted the work of orgs supporting the re-entry of formerly incarcerated folks and ways to incorporate these efforts into our work.
🪩 Unwinding with a dance party!
👩🏾‍🌾 Learning the significance of Urban Farming Institute as a pillar in their community and learning the art of grafting fruit trees!
👩🏾‍🍳 The plant-based sandwich cooking showdown — two mushroom and nopale sandwich showstoppers were born!

Hey y'all! Tamazha here. As we wrap up for the year, we're already planning for 2025! On the to-do list is a major bathroom repair to replace the flooring, lighting, update our plumbing and hopefully get some hot water running for the cold months. We will also prioritize making sure the bathroom remains ADA compliant. The bathroom renovation has been a need for a while and we've decided not to delay any longer. This will support us in supporting the community and hosting more events in the new year! If you're seeing this, this is your sign to check out our Giving Tuesday 2024 to-do/wishlist! Tag your favorite contractor, share this post, and have an awesome rest of your day 💚 #FarmStoreReno #GivingTuesday2024 #FreshFutureFarm https://buff.ly/4eVCD4a
