FAQ

  • Has Fresh Future Farm been able to buy their land?

    Fresh Future Farm remains fully committed to purchasing our land from the City of North Charleston. Thanks to our Kickstarter backers and other generous donors, we also have the monetary resources available in a separate bank account. While we currently operate with a month-to-month lease, our primary focus continues to be meeting the needs of our neighbors in Chicora/Cherokee during the pandemic and beyond.

  • Does FFF accept donated food?

    No. The Farm operates a USDA certified grocery store with a mission of giving our customers the freshest, safest products available. To that effect, our team shops to ensure that time and temperature controls are always maintained. FFF does accept gift card donations to Harris Teeter, Sam’s Club, Publix and Bi-Lo.

  • What is the Farm's response to COVID-19?

  • What are pronouns, and why are they important?

Pronouns are important because they are used to express identity. When you use people’s correct pronouns, you are showing them respect.

  • Does Fresh Future Farm deliver or sell produce wholesale?
