Our Commitment to Local Resilience

Grassroots Greenville connects and fosters the upstate community of homesteaders, farmers, and gardeners by providing guides, event listings, and resources dedicated to connecting our community with authentic local resources. We believe in getting back to our roots and using the resources we have right here in our community to ensure a sustainable, food sovereign future for everyone.

Our mission

Our mission is to unite Upstate South Carolina’s homesteaders, farmers, and gardeners in a shared journey toward food sovereignty. Through empowering resources, local events, and hands-on guides, we’re growing more than food—we’re cultivating a resilient, connected, and thriving local food community – together.

Why local matters

By supporting local food sources, we help reduce environmental impact, strengthen our local economy, and preserve the unique culinary identity of Upstate South Carolina. Every purchase connects you to the people who grow, harvest, and craft your food.
