The SC Grower Exchange: September 22, 2025

We’re doing things a little bit different around here, but hopefully that means you get even more out of this podcast! Join us as we revamp things and add some new segments that will allow us to take a deeper dive into things and maybe not repeat so much of what’s on the SC Grower Blog. One of the features that we have on both the blog and the podcast is our monthly ‘Grower Spotlight’. Each month, an agent chooses a farm or grower that they want to share about. We’ve included those here on the podcast previously, but we hope to start spending a little more time on these features. On this episode, Justin and Rob share with us about a midlands grower who Rob currently works with and has chosen to showcase, Jebali Farms. Learn a little about this operation and find out how you can enjoy a meal from an eatery in Lexington SC, featuring the hyper-local goods from Jebali! In a new segment, as we are coming up on the 1-year anniversary of Helene, which wreaked havoc on many areas of the state last season, we also discuss the ‘Timely Topic’ of hurricane season and some effects storms can take on crops, even years later.
