Schedule

The Certified South Carolina program was launched in 2007 to help consumers easily identify, find and buy South Carolina-grown products. Restaurants across the state have become partners in the effort through the Fresh on the Menu program, in which chefs commit to sourcing at least 25% in-season Certified SC food and products.

The Lee Brothers – Charleston natives Matt Lee and Ted Lee – host South Carolina chefs and farmers onstage throughout the weekend to demonstrate recipes and talk about the fresh, local foods and culinary traditions of South Carolina. Stop by the tent for a sample – and check out some of our Certified SC vendors, farmers and programs while you’re at it!
