Growing Green Family Farms
Seeks to nourish our community by sustainably growing vegetables and herbs for over over 20 local restaurants, Swamp Rabbit Grocery, the Downtown Greenville Farmers Market and Clemson Area Food Exchange. Regenerative agriculture goes beyond organic certification to rebuild soil fertility and promote biodiversity in the garden. We use intercropping, companion planting, compost, crop rotation, no-till and permaculture methods, and more to eliminate the use of all pesticides and herbicides that affect soil health and ecosystem balance. We do not seek to eliminate pests, but to attract beneficial and predatory insects to balance the ecosystem which naturally controls pest populations. We use zero chemicals that could harm pests (vs. certified organic that has anallowed listof chemical options). Our philosophy is if it is safe for a bug to eat, it is safe for us to eat. We just cut off the worm-sampled bit and enjoy the rest. So you may find a hole or two in your greens or an occasional worm in your cucumbers, but you can trust that it's proof your food is 100% pesticide-free. If your surprise guest ate too much, let us know and we'd be happy to replace the veggie in your next order.

Nathan Vannette grew up on his family’s 5 wooded acres in West Michigan. Being homeschooled gave him the freedom to explore his love of nature. By the age of 10, Nathan started his first vegetable and flower garden, paving the way for further experiments that lead to the start of Growing Green Family Farm. In 2010, with the help of his family, Nathan founded Growing Green Family Farms and began selling hydroponic produce at local farmers markets. In 2014, Chris (Nathan's brother-in-law) joined Growing Green Family Farms as a co-owner, working together the business has continued to grow. After many years of vacationing in Upstate South Carolina, Nathan, Chris, and their families relocated there in 2015. Nathan and Chris love being a part of this community! Today, Growing Green has continued to grow to meet your needs for local pesticide-free produce while being good stewards of the land.
