The farm site was first located at Thompson Farms in Holly Hill and moved late last year to Rest Park Farm in Beaufort.

CSAs have increased in popularity as a way for local farmers and consumers to reach one another, providing the farmer with committed local customers and allowing consumers to know their money is staying in the community.
