Earth People Farms FRESH weekly Produce delivery
Our Partnership with SC Black Farmers & LFPA
EP Farms is working with the SC Black Farmers Coalition’s Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) program. We are proud to provide a bag of fresh produce from our farm and several other micro farms on St. Helena Island to individuals and families each week! Thanks to funding provided by the SC Department of Agriculture (LPFA administrator for South Carolina) there is no charge to those who are under-served. Everyone deserves to have fresh, local produce each week, regardless of their income level. If you are eligible for EBT and would like to be added to our weekly delivery list, please contact our CFO at 843-271-8878.
At Earth People Farms, we're committed to sustainable and responsible farming practices. We use natural fertilizers and pest control methods to ensure that our crops are healthy and free from harmful chemicals. These practices increase the cost of our products significantly. We are thankful to have funding partnerships like SCBFC & LFPA that allow us to provide our customers with the highest quality products, regardless of income level.
