It’s no secret that munching on locally grown food can greatly reduce your impact on the environment. The average U.S. meal travels 1500 miles from source to plate, which causes an unnecessarily large carbon footprint because of all the transportation. Every time you buy something grown in the Charleston-area, you are choosing to eliminate your share of that footprint’s C02. And you get some yummy fresh food to boot!
The Go Green Charleston Locally Grown Food Map features local farmers markets, growers, fruits and vegetable stands, supermarkets, and locally caught seafood. You can zoom in to get a good look, plot directions, or visit their websites. With addresses and phone numbers for 18+ locations, this map can help you practice a more sustainable, low-impact diet.
All of our maps are works in progress, so please let us know if you’d like to see something added to this local foods map. Providing free information to the community is what this site is all about, and we’re always looking for someone to lend a hand.
