Acclaimed Gullah chefs Charlotte and Kesha Jenkins will have the second installment of their new De Gullah Farmers Market Sept. 18–20 on a plot of family land in the historic Ten Mile community between Mount Pleasant and Awendaw. This venture led to a larger vision: a farmers market that celebrates not only Gullah foodways, but also the broader cultural traditions tied to them. Partnerships are in development with other local farmers, such as Johns Island’s Rose Friedman. The plan isn’t to keep it stationary, but to move across different Gullah communities in the Lowcountry — from Lincolnville to Six Mile and beyond. It’s about keeping our traditions alive, together.” De Gullah Farmers Market will take place from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 18 and Sept. 19 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 20.
