***** REVIEW OF MARDI GRAS PARADE ONLY, City Roots was the host ******…read more The annual Mardi Gras parade was held at this location. They had a small parade, beer of course, and a few food trucks. I wont compare this to other Mardi Gras parades that I have been too. This was a nice outing for families with small kids (free beads) and those who wanna stand around a drink beer all day. I checked in and out in less than a hr. Tip: This has potential if the whole city would participant, other parades Ive seen in Columbia have much more community involvement. I will attend other events and try some of the fresh food (Farm To Table Events, and update the review.

While I love the fact that this is a CSA operation and I understand that prices (for everything)…read morethese days are seemingly very high, the prices not being posted at all is the problem and reason for my review. You get to checkout and are told some wildly high price. The cost of the prices isn't at all similar or close to the other prices of booths at the local farmers market. Yes, the 6 peaches I got seemed nice. Yes, it's a farmers market. But no, I don't think $18 for 6 peaches is in line with anything reasonable. The quality was good, but the cost is exorbitantly high for what they're selling.

One of the best local farms around! I was visiting with my sister and brother in law and they said…read moreI had to visit Lever Farms! This is designated a Century Farm, which Charlene explained to me that they can prove it's been in the same family more than a century!!They've got records going back to at least 1897!!!! How fabulous! The kindness and feeling like you're part of their story was priceless! They have so many homemade local products!! The prices are great and the selection is wide!! The service is like you're a guest at their home! Today we were there for strawberries, but I also got a TShirt, Wildflower local honey, pickled okra and a homemade almond pound cake (It is their grandmother's recipe). Can't wait to have a slice with strawberries and whipped cream on top!! I also can't wait to visit next time I'm in town!

This family farm is all things "friendly". The hard work shows and it's all for the good of their…read morecustomers. They make it look easy with their genuine care for those who visit and purchase their produce. The strawberries are the sweetest you'll ever eat! Other items available make the trip to Lever Farms a treat!

How do I love thee... let me count the ways... First I'd like to tell the reader that they have TWO…read morepick up locations. If you don't want to go to Evans, there is one on Broad St. across from the Kroc Center. I usually park there, it's after 5:30 and skip across the grass. Remember to bring some reusable bags to get your stuff! Meanwhile, I tried that "green store that takes much of your paycheck" and found it to be seriously disappointing! I mean let's get serious here... level 1 meats are about the same as any other grocery and NOT why I'd pay so much more. I was so excited to find this website locallygrown.net which has locations all over (so I'm totally saving it in case I move again). The "store" opens online on Friday with how much of what is available from real local farms and artisans. You scoop up the goodies and pay to make sure you get that last share of jalapeños... then pick it all up on Tuesday night. They have veg, fruit, all kinds of meats, dairy, flowers, herbs, candles, soaps, baked goods... etc. Go, have a look! You can chose from grass fed, organic, pasture raised... all of the things I adore. I found the size of share and freshness to be very good. Make sure you check everything and don't leave without some greens... like I did. Everything seems to last so much longer because it's fresh! I wish I had found this years ago...

Stop eating crap and start eating great ingredients and fresh foods available from local farmers. I…read morecan't say anything bad about the Augusta Locally Grown (ALG) they are so well organized and offer a lot for the money. Of course, ALG links farmers to consumers via the internet. Orders are placed every Friday at noon thru Sunday at 8pm. Buyers have two locations in Augusta to pick up - Evans Town Center or West End bakery in the old Harrisburg community of Augusta. We haven't really been to a grocery store since beginning with ALG back in June. We order fresh milk, pasture raised eggs; grass fed beef and pork; vegetables galore from farmers who have now become acquainted with me. I support the local farmers, eat well and all at a modest cost. Once you start with ALG you'll always wonder why you spent your hard earned money at the chain stores. Buyers also get to know their farmers and the farmers are always eager to answer your questions about how they farm organic, etc. I buy all of my meats for the month and re-stock the milk, eggs and veggies weekly. Always something great to prepare for meals!
