About this event

Fresh Future Farm is excited to invite babies, toddlers and tweens to join our Farm Babies series starting in April 2024! Over six weeks, children along with their families can participate for 45 minutes of farm fun, healthy snacks and fresh air!

Our Farm Babies program is a fun opportunity for kids and their families to explore our farm while engaging in artsy,creative and enriching activities. We encourage a relaxed environment where kids can learn, play and most importantly be themselves! Some activities we've done include : fruit and veggie tye dye, bean mosaic art, historical treasure hunts and compost dessert cups! Farm Babies is an atmosphere where kids are celebrated and free to learn in a way the best fits their needs.

We look forward to seeing all of our farm babies this spring on Success Street!

Fresh Future Farm Inc.

Fresh Future Farm operates a nonprofit farm and USDA grocery store on .8 acres in North Charleston, SC. Few grocery stores can boast that their store brand products are grown right outside the door. The farm grows chemical-free produce that is sold at peak freshness. Along with the basic groceries and dry goods, customers can find specialty foods that cater to most dietary needs. This non-profit urban grocery accepts SNAP (EBT) benefits in addition to cash, debit and credit cards.

Any waste is tossed to the red wigglers or the compost pile. The FFF team use ancestral farming and conservation principles to grow their crops.

Not only do we sell quality foods, but we also created an oasis on a vacant city lot that has attracted frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, bees, spiders and lizards back to our space. Our farming techniques remediate the soil from the top down and aid in the absorption of massive amounts of rainwater (and snow) – our crops have not flooded/been contaminated by flood water despite two years of extreme rain events and a heavy snow storm.

No monoculture here, depending on the season you can find blackberries, citrus, arugula, carrots, spring onions, mustards, rosemary, bananas and much more for sale.

The farm stays as busy as our beehive. Harvest meals, farm babies classes, volunteer crab cracks and other social events welcome the public.

Visit us at 2008 Success Street, North Charleston. And follow us on Facebook and Instagram. (843) 804-9091. Open Wednesday - Friday 10 am - 6 pm; Saturday 8 am - 3 pm.
