Shawn Thackeray – Thackeray Farms – Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina
Shawn Thackeray began farming this 200 acres of land located a mere mile from the Atlantic Ocean many years ago with his father-in-law when it was all planted in tomatoes. Today Shawn owns this land, where he dedicates 20 acres to grow heirloom tomatoes and has expanded the rest to grow a diverse roster of specialty vegetables and several varieties of wildflowers. Thackeray Farms is currently transitioning their sustainable farming practices to organic in order to improve the condition of the soil and the surrounding water and to provide the healthiest working environment for his employees.

Amazing video. First time I’ve been to the whole foods site. Glad to see you supporting local farmers and especially ones who are trying to make quality food not just a quick buck! Our family shops at whole foods and I encourage the members of our gym to shop there too. Keep up the good work!

Do you have provisions for private parties to come and spend a week or so on the farm to learn organic farming? Many of us are trying to do organic gardens and there are some farms I’ve heard of that rent out rooming and persons “work” the farm and learn at the same time.
