About Earth Medicine Farms
Our Story
At Earth Medicine Farms, we honor the past by cultivating plants that carry the stories of our ancestors. We grow seeds brought to this land by those who endured the most trying circumstances, hiding them away in their hair to preserve life and culture for future generations. Our farm is rooted in resilience, tradition, and hope, offering a living testament to the strength of those who came before us. We're a family owned farm in Due West SC.
