Banks effort. The co-op also operates Rare Variety Café, a vegan restaurant on North Main Street in Columbia. Additionally, Clemons makes and markets her own line of hibiscus tea.

With FarmASis, she wanted to share the farming knowledge she’d been working to acquire, and to grow together with a group of like-minded women.

Thomasena Hoefer-Laudmon is the group’s president, though the group is “a very collective effort,”

Hoefer-Laudmon says. She’s enjoyed the chance to share her experience.

“I gardened all my life,” Hoefer-Laudmon says. “As a child I grew up with my mom in the garden.”

As the rain lets up, the FarmASis members grab tools and bags and head out to the rows to harvest. The Sandhill REC is certified organic. They pick okra, tomatoes, kale, squash, round yellow cucumbers, squash and other summer vegetables.

For now, FarmASis grows food for their families, with what remains going to Axiom Farms.

“We have had a lot of discussion about other markets, but we’ve decided we’re not going to go to that level,” Clemons explains.

“We’ve grown food together and we’ve grown together as women and as sisters,” Clemons says. “We’ve realized some of our missions and passion by working together and learning to trust each other.”

“We truly enjoy what we’re growing,” says Bonita Clemons. “We know it tastes different.”

She’s sitting in a folding chair in a building on the grounds of Clemson University’s Sandhill Research and Education Center. A steady rain is falling outside the roll-up door, but it’s dry and cheerful inside, folding chairs pulled into a circle where the 10 women who make up FarmASis have gathered this morning.

“We have three goals,” Clemons says by way of introducing the group. “No. 1, to work collectively as black women – being a model to show everyone that women can work together. No. 2 is health and wellness and intentionally getting back to nature. And No. 3 is economic growth.”

Clemons formed the group in 2016. For the first several years, they met at members’ houses to garden, then worked some plots owned by Richland County, finally securing

a plot in the Sandhill REC incubator program, which offers space for startup farmers to grow their agribusinesses.

For all these women, farming is a side gig – which is why they’ve gathered at 7 this morning to get some work done.

Clemons stays busy. Her nonprofit organization Dianne’s Call works on issues of community health and nutrition. She also works with Axiom Farms Cooperative, a food hub based in the economically depressed 29203 zip code; Axiom was one of the distributors chosen to participate in SCDA’s recent Farmers to Food

SOUTH CAROLINACOMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

I’m writing this during the week of July 20, which is the week we

usually hold the South Carolina Commissioner’s School for Agriculture. This is just one more example of the fact that 2020 will be a year to remember for us all.Every year since 2004, we’ve worked with Clemson University’s College of Agriculture, Forestry & Life Sciences to hold the annual Commissioner’s School, a weeklong program during which we help high school students explore potential majors and careers in different sectors of agriculture, learn more about agriculture in South Carolina, nationally and globally, and build leadership and teamwork skills.

Students spend the week taking on a rigorous schedule of academic sessions as well as laboratory research to give them insight into horticulture, turf grass, soil science, forestry, wildlife and environmental sciences, and animal science. They also engage in leadership and team building activities, and fun activities like a rafting trip. Over the years, I’ve watched students build personal relationships as well as contacts in the agriculture community. It’s a great time; I always look forward to meeting those students and

being inspired by their passion for agriculture. They are a source of my optimism about the future of agriculture in South Carolina.Unfortunately this year we made the difficult decision to cancel the summer program. COVID-19 restrictions would have made the program difficult, and the health of students and staff is our number one priority. Knowing that many other learning institutions and enrichment programs are in the same position didn’t make our decision any easier, as we know how much Commissioner’s School means to the students who attend.We hope to be back on schedule next summer. If you know a high school student interested in agriculture, or are one yourself, I encourage you to read more and apply for next year’s program. Visit clemson.edu/cafls/sccsa for information.Some of you may be thinking, “Didn’t I hear Commissioner had contracted COVID-19?” It’s true – I tested positive in July, as did Blanche. We spent the next several weeks at home. My symptoms were mild, and I’m relieved to say that we came through it just fine. We’re thankful for the prayers. I hope you all stay safe. Wear a mask! We’ll get through this together.

South Carolina State University’s 1890 Research and Extension program has a new home thanks to funding from the US Department of Agriculture.

The $3.3 million grant helped build a 14,000-square-foot Administration and Community Facility.

SC State held a virtual ribboncutting on July 10, complete with a video tour of the facility by 1890 Executive Director Dr. Louis Whitesides.

The virtual tour highlighted South Carolina State’s roots as an agricultural school. Among the images Whitesides highlighted on his tour was a photo of milk cap reading “South Carolina State College,” a relic of when the school used to produce its own milk and cheese.

As a land grant university, Whitesides said, “community service is what we do.”

Seeking a way to help farmers and needy families during the COVID-19 pandemic, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture and SC Advocates for Agriculture teamed up to create the Farmers to Food Banks program in June. This food box program used donated funds to purchase and distribute South Carolina produce to Feeding America food banks across the state.

A review committee selected nine distributors to buy produce from South Carolina farms. Ace Basin Food Hub, Axiom Farms Food Hub, Francis Produce, FreshList, Growfood Carolina, Limehouse Produce, Senn Brothers, Titan Farms, and Watsonia worked with local farms to purchase nearly $335,000 of produce, compile over 16,000 boxes, and distribute them to food hubs from June 15-30, 2020.

Commissioner Hugh Weathers and other SCDA staff were able to join the distributors and experience different steps of the process. From visiting Ace Basin as they assembled the boxes, to visiting Harvest Hope with Titan and Francis Produce staff for box drops, they were able to see firsthand the good this program was doing. While Commissioner Weathers and other SCDA staff visited Harvest Hope in Florence, the food bank’s executive director noted that this was the freshest produce her agency had ever been able to distribute.

We can’t say thank you enough to the donors who made this possible:

• IAG Capital Partners

• Zeus

• SC Advocates for Agriculture

• AgFirst Farm Credit Bank

• AT&T

• Duke Energy

• NextEra Energy

• South State Bank

• AgSouth Farm Credit

• Pinnacle Financial Partners

• South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation

• Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Inc.

• GrandSouth Bank

• Horry Electric Cooperative, Inc.

• ArborOne Farm Credit

• Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation

• Santee Cooper

• Walmart

To date, Farmers to Food Banks has received more than $400,000 in donations. Staff will be discussing a potential second round of distribution with the leftover funding.

South Carolina Advocates for Agriculture is a 501(c)3 created in 2005 to help promote agriculture in the Palmetto State. Previous successful partnerships between Certified and Advocates include the 2015 flood relief effort Plant It Forward SC and fundraising campaigns to provide scholarships for the South Carolina Commissioner’s School for Agriculture.

2020 WATERMELON SEASONGOING STRONG

South Carolina watermelons always seem to hit markets right as summer temperatures become truly sweltering – and 2020 is no different.

Despite fears that COVID-19 would dampen the 2020 summer produce season, as of mid-July there was solid demand for South Carolina watermelons and other produce.

“We were nervous about it going in,” says Kyle Tisdale, marketing specialist for the South Carolina Watermelon Board. “We were worried, but the produce market right now is hot. It has been all summer.”

Consumers have embraced local food, seeking out area farmers and open-air farmers markets as they try to support their local economy through the pandemic. Retailers have continued their partnerships with SCDA and producers to promote Certified South Carolina produce, even as Tisdale has had to curtail the in-person melon-cutting promotions that usually form a lot of his summer marketing duties. And people are buying watermelons.

“People are keeping fruits and vegetables at home,” Tisdale says. “We’ve had no issues as far as moving volume.”

Due to a cool spring, South Carolina melons aren’t quite as plentiful as some other years, and their flavor and juiciness have them in high demand.

P E A C H J A M• Peaches, chopped roughly

• An equal volume of sugar (i.e., for 3 cups mushed-up peaches, use 3 cups sugar)

Place in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium, stirring and pressing to break up fruit. Once mixture comes to a simmer, turn the heat down and let cook, stirring regularly, until mixture looks like jam – 20-30 minutes – keeping in mind that it will thicken slightly as it cools. Pour into clean jars. Store in refrigerator.

With sweet, bright South Carolina peaches filling roadside stands and farmers markets across the state, you might be tempted to buy more than you can eat at one time.

One of the simplest ways to use up your rapidly ripening peaches is to make jam. And if you keep your batches small and store the finished product in the refrigerator, you can skip the two things that make jam-making most difficult and unspontaneous: the pectin and the canning.

Every August the South Carolina Agritourism Association holds meetings to promote education and networking among agritourism industry professionals. This year they will be held in the Lowcountry and the Pee Dee.

These meetings are free to SCAA members and they include lunch, so pre-registration is required.

Middleton Place Organic Garden4300 Ashley River Road, Charleston, SC 29414middletonplace.orgAugust 18, 2020 • 10 am – 2 pm

This organic garden provides all the fresh vegetables used in the famed Middleton Place Restaurant – which is providing our lunch. We will learn how the garden has incorporated farm education into agritourism, and how they have focused their marketing efforts on their target market. We will hear how they run large events such as weddings and other functions at the plantation grounds. From small intimate events at the organic farm to large functions, there will be something in this summer spotlight for everyone to take away and apply to their own farm agritourism goals. This event includes admission to the grounds and all participants are encouraged to stay after the event to enjoy all the beauty and history of Middleton Place.

Pre-registration is required by Friday, August 7, 2020. This event is free to SCAA members

During this time of COVID-19 our agritourism farms have had to be creative, regroup, and try new ways to keep it going. No one knows this better than the folks at Thompson Farm at Brickyard Plantation. With moving their entire farm to a new location and losing their spring activities and school field trips, they have reinvented themselves for success. Join us for a Summer Spotlight gathering where speaker Christina Burzler will share their story of relocating, rebuilding, rebranding, and getting creative.

Pre-registration is required by Friday, August 14, 2020. This event is free to SCAA members (maximum of 2 per membership) and $20 per person for non-members and guests.

Summer SweetPE ACH JA M DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A BIG PRODUCTION

B Y E V A M O O R E

While many recipes call for Sure-Jell or another form of added pectin, it’s not necessary. Pectin proponents note that it allows you to cook the jam for less time, resulting in fresher flavors and brighter colors. They also say it improves texture. But I often prefer the looser, more spreadable jams made without added pectin.

Canning, meanwhile, is essential if you’re planning to make shelf-stable batches of jam. But if you’re just making a small amount, you can put it in a few sterilized jars and keep it in the refrigerator. Save a jar for yourself and give the others to your friends and family. The National Center for Home Food Preservation suggests you use refrigerated jams within a month.

Clingstone and freestone peaches both work fine for jam-making. Unless the skins are very tough, I leave them on.

As long as we’re throwing out tradition, you might be tempted to skimp on the sugar, but don’t: Sugar helps thicken and preserve the jam. If your peaches are very sweet, you can back off on the sugar a bit, adding more later if the mixture isn’t coming together.
