City Roots Farm

Family-owned and founded by father and son duo, Eric and Robbie McClam in 2009, City Roots Farm set out to be the first urban farm in South Carolina. They strive to be an energy and carbon-neutral farm and use zero fossil fuels in their greenhouses and farms. By sourcing their power and onsite heat from solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling, they can grow fresh microgreens and organic vegetables in greenhouses to give you the same fresh flavor and nutrition all year round!

Cotton Hope Farms

Peaches are the taste of summer and at Sprouts, we’re proud to source them from our trusted partner, Cotton Hope Farms. For over 100 years, the DuBose family has owned and operated Cotton Hope Farms, bringing fresh, off-the-orchard peaches from tree to table. Cotton Hope Farms sits on the ridge of Monetta, South Carolina where the peaches are known for growing sweeter. Not only do the sloping lands provide ample amounts of water, but the sandy soils and Piedmont clay of the Coastal Plains create the best fertility for sweet, juicy peaches. The DuBose family and Cotton Hope Farms prides itself on delivering high-quality peaches straight from their backyard to yours!

Since their founding in 1983, Jim Rash has been delivering the freshest watermelons direct from their farms to our stores! Jim Rash goes above what’s expected because that’s just what makes sense. Their dedication to honesty and integrity guides them through extensive reviews, trainings and testing processes to ensure the best practice for all of their delicious produce. From the time their watermelons are planted, until the time they’re packed and shipped, you can be sure that the team at Jim Rash is growing juicy, nutritious watermelons. Growing watermelons isn’t just what they do, it’s who they are!

McLeod Farms uses a variety of modern farming practices like drip irrigation and wind machines to help bring warmer temperatures down to the crops on the colder days. While peaches are their specialty, this local farm also grows berries, potatoes, cabbage, sweet corn, onions, peppers and other tasty produce.
