The Land · South Carolina

Forty-plus acres, read like an instrument.

Sandy loam in a century-old peach belt, a long frost-free season, and three interstates within reach. We chose the ground before we chose the technology.

Why South Carolina

Climate, soil and roads that suit these four crops.

Climate

A long season, managed under cover.

Mild winters and a long frost-free window suit tunnel strawberries and tomatoes; tunnels absorb the spring frosts and summer storms that open fields cannot.

USDA zone
8a (approx.)
Frost-free
~210–230 days
Rainfall
~46 in / yr
Soil

Well-drained sandy loam.

Sandy loam over clay subsoil drains fast and warms early — good for peach roots and raised plasticulture beds, and easy to read with probes.

Heritage

A peach belt for over a century.

South Carolina is consistently among the top two peach-producing states. We are joining an established supply chain of packers, nurseries and buyers, not inventing one.
