Chucktown Acres is a working, regenerative farm just outside of Charleston, SC. We raise grass fed/grass finished beef, forested pork, soy free eggs, and pasture-raised poultry. We are farmers who have a passion to grow bio-diverse food that heals our land and heals the people around us. We also have a passion for educating and inspiring folks to know where their food comes from, how it is grown, and how it affects everything around us. We long to see a new generation of farmers rise up and regenerate farms that have been previously shuttered due to consistent tillage or continuous grazing operations. HOW WE FARM It starts with the Soil Care The world is rapidly running out of soil. The way that food is produced today is unsustainable. Food is grown in the top layer of soil called “top soil”, but did you know that nearly half of that soil has disappeared in the last 150 years? The UN predicts that if we keep going at this pace, we could run out of our topsoil in the next 60 years. For us here at Chucktown Acres, we are doing our part to change those numbers. More than organic and more than sustainable, we are regenerative in our approach to food production. Why would you want to “sustain” those above statistics? You wouldn’t. You would want to regenerate what we are losing and we believe our farming practices have the ability to do so. Our goal is to leave this Lowcountry land better than we found it.
