“We fully support the proposal that the Gullah Farmers’ Cooperative is presenting and look forward to working with them to strengthen their organizational the capacity and opportunities to aggregate and market fresh local produce grown by the socially disadvantaged farmers they are serving.”

“There are only a small number of other groups in South Carolina that provide the quality and service needed for supplying of the produce they provide. Their brand and product have become more and more recognized; thus, it is quite inspiring to have the chance to increase both current and new sales in the sector. Our produce experience and working with the Cooperative enable us to know that the packaging and processing activities of The Gullah Farmers will meet an important need for small farmers in the area, particularly those socially disadvantaged farmers who are struggling to access markets.”
