It’s Carolina Day again in The Great State of South Carolina. Just a brief reminder of the 248th Anniversary of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island. Today commemorates the successful defeat of British naval and land forces by patriots on June 28th 1776.This decisive victory by the American colonies in their fight for independence. Preventing the Redcoats from gaining a foothold into South Carolina for another four years.(excerpt from nps.gov)
Moving on to what appears to be the Ten Days of the Forth of July. For some odd reason it reminds me of June 25th, Leon Day, the half way point to Christmas. I’m chuckling as I peck because it reminds me of a friend of my Dad’s who was a generational Jewish merchant on King Street. He aways wished God had another son in June, business being so good in December. The characters of Charleston hopefully will be replaced as others have moved on to the angels. Man I miss some of those lunatics.
Now onto Rosebank Farms, we will be closed on the Fourth of July, reopening Friday with regular hours
9:00am to 6:00pm 7 days a week as long as we can stand it.
Stop in and grab some of Sidi’s holiday essentials,
Watermelons with seeds (Sangria) and seedless (Bold Ruler), seems appropriate. Beautiful Heirloom Tomatoes and the vine ripened John’s Island Tomato we all grew up on. Cantaloupes, Corn, Butter Beans, Peas, Blackberries, Blueberries just to name a few the fields have to offer. Dare I forget Local South Carolina Peaches.
The Kitchen has our Seasonal Soups available. Tomato Basil, Gazpacho and North Carolina Fresh Blue Crab and Corn. I will try to make Okra Soup again for the week, you may find some in the freezer. I did make a not so seasonal Loaded Potato Soup this week with Sidi’s Potatoes and Scallions, Louise and The Influencer gave it high marks. Kat has put together a Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni with a touch of real feta for a light pasta dish. We will be replenishing Sandy’s Vegetable Pasta Salad, Butter Beans Hummus and a few other new recipes to go with your Forth of July fare.
The Kitchen will be trying to keep up with various seasonal cobblers as we move into next week.
Thanks.
Be safe.

We are a working farm since 1988 that has been providing fresh, high-quality produce to locals and visitors season after season. Rosebank Farms consist of over 50 acres that produces crops year-round. The planting, cultivating and harvesting never ceases. Our passion for farming and dedication to healthy and delicious food has allowed us to grow and expand while maintaining our commitment to you and quality.
We offer a wide variety of seasonal produce, including fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Rosebank Farms celebrates fall with heirloom pumpkins, winter squash, sweet potatoes, zucchini, speckled butter beans, green beans, wax beans, Kentucky wonders, Italian beans, and arugula. Celosia, marigold, and zinnias bloom with an abundance of monarch butterflies. Beets, carrots, cabbage are all maturing and the sweet peas, snow peas, and sugar snaps will soon be picked. Heirloom tomatoes slowly ripen...of course Mother Nature plays a starring role as the tender crops' nemesis-frost! Stay up to date with what's available, what is working in the kitchen, and whatever else Jonathan wants to tell you about by signing up for our newsletter!
Our stand is now open at our new location right down the road at Kiawah River. We are still right off of Betsy Kerrison Pkwy. We have local artwork, sweetgrass baskets, honey, and a few local vendors. Rows of vegetables bins line our market and apples from North Carolina fill baskets, and coolers hold the seafood and prepared foods. There is always something at our stand that you will need to take home with you. I promise!
Bounty from our fields transformed by the awesome kitchen staff stocks the refrigerators at our stand. Appetizers, salads, soups, quiches, pasta, main dishes, and sides invite healthy enjoyment. Whether you're looking for a snack or a full Southern meal, you are sure to love whatever it is you find here. Our food options are always changing, but we try and keep our favorites in stock. Our staff is always in the kitchen working hard to fill your bellies!
