We are happy to be able to help with the Camp’s cause and support Jamie as, rarely recognized for this fact, he personally pays for all the food consumed at the Camp except our contribution.

Charleston Restaurant Association

CRAThe Greater Charleston Restaurant Association, Inc. is a trade organization that has annual events to raise money and donate to local charities. These events would not be possible without the support and commitment of community-minded companies like Limehouse Produce. The Limehouses have been a part of the GCRA family for many years and their generosity and continued support have made us as strong as we are today. Most recently they participated in our Southern Living Taste of Charleston as the Restaurant Sign Sponsor which is illustrative of their commitment to support local restaurants.

Mepkin Abbey

mebkinabby

For over 40 years, the wonderful people at Limehouse Produce have been great friends and supporters of the monks at Mepkin Abbey by distributing the monastery’s products to local grocery stores and restaurants. Because of Limehouse’s help, the monastery’s products have enjoyed great success in our area.

What does Mepkin Abbey do?

The monks at Mepkin Abbey live simple lives of prayer, sacred reading and work. Over the years, this work has been agricultural in nature and currently the monks grow oyster and shiitake mushrooms which are distributed by Limehouse Produce to restaurants and grocery stores in the Lowcountry. Prior to growing mushrooms, the monks provided eggs to Limehouse Produce for many years and also grew mirco greens for our distribution.

Tricounty Family Ministries

TricountyMinisties

Andrea Limehouse met Sue Hanshaw the founder of the Tricounty at a local produce meeting at Park Circle many years ago. Since then Tricounty comes to Limehouse Produce three times a week to pick up product while making their route picking up food items from local grocery stores. The product is converted into a healthy meal offered free of charge three days a week to up to 300 persons at the Ministry where they can also receive social assistance.

Tricounty Family Ministries is a faith-based, non-denominational organization serving those in need in Charleston, Dorchester, and Berkeley counties for the last 30 years.  We receive support from local vendors to provide nutritious foods to the community.  This support is vital to our ministry by providing food for our hot lunches as well as our emergency grocery program.  We have provided over 300,000 meals at Tricounty Family Ministries using donations from Limehouse Produce.

Green Heart

GreenHeart

Limehouse Produce has sponsored the Harvest Feast for the last three years, the last two with help from Jamie Westendorff. This brilliant example of  agricultural education really changing the way children think about food has been very successful with the devotion of the initiators Karalee Nielson, Drew Harrison and Chauncey Jordan. We also donated pumpkins for the Annual Halloween Carving. We are 100% behind this School Gardening model.

The Green Heart Project is a community-based volunteer organization that integrates school farms as outdoor classrooms in an effort to teach students the virtues of hard work, respect and success and reiterate classroom curriculum while connecting students and volunteers to fresh, healthy, locally-grown produce.

Lowcountry Local First

LLFOver the past 4 years the Limehouses have provided not only support of our work but also shared a wealth on knowledge on the history of agriculture on Johns Island and the Lowcountry. Andrea’s expansive knowledge of the farmers in the area, the robust tomato farming that once was there and the sad demise of many of these farmers due to the impact of industrialized farming and development.  The Limehouses have a true passion for seeing agriculture continue to thrive in the area and have proven that with their support of Rosebank Farms and now Dirt Works Incubator Farm on their property at Rosebank.  Sidi has played the role of mentor to many of our new farmers and the Limehouses have leased 10 acres to LLF for $1 per year to provide 5 new farmers the opportunity to have access to land, a tractor provided by Steen enterprises, a packing shed, cooler and a mentor farmer.  The hope is that by providing these new farmers a low cost opportunity to enter farming they can hone their skills and build their market before launching their own enterprise.  Many of these new farmers sell their product to Limehouse Produce. With the help of the Limehouses we hope to make the Lowcountry once again a robust and viable agricultural community.

Trident Technical Foundation

TTC“Andrea Limehouse is one of the most generous spirits I’ve ever known.  While her name is ‘Limehouse’ it is certainly not ‘limelight’.  She exemplifies Matthew 6:2, ‘so when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it…’  Andrea quietly goes about making this world a better place – one person at a time.” – Mary Thornley, TTC President. 

Andrea and Limehouse Produce support Trident Technical College in a variety of ways, but most importantly through personal involvement with the TTC Foundation and the Culinary Institute of Charleston (CIC).

Andrea has served on the TTC Foundation board since 2005, and has been a member of the board’s executive committee since 2009. She also served on the steering committee for the foundation’s most recent Building Opportunity capital campaign which surpassed its fundraising goal by more than 10%. As part of the campaign, Andrea and Jack created the Limehouse Produce Endowed Scholarship Fund which provides scholarship support for students enrolled at CIC.

In addition to their scholarship, Limehouse Produce consistently supports CIC’s students with generous donations of fruit and vegetables for student learning activities. Limehouse Produce has also served as a sponsor for A Night in the Valley (the foundation’s annual fundraising gala) since 2005.

The Trident Technical College Foundation and the Culinary Institute of Charleston are extremely grateful for the Limehouse family’s support as we strive to provide a quality and affordable education to students throughout the Lowcountry, and they actively support our vision of creating community investments today for tomorrow’s workforce.

The Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA)

tsa_no_url

Limehouse Produce provides fresh produce to the animals in the care of the Turtle Survival Alliance. 

The Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) protects turtles to ensure that these species do not vanish forever. The TSA, a globally recognized force for turtle conservation, was established in 2001 with a commitment to “zero turtle extinctions. ” The goal of the TSA is to prevent turtle extinctions by employing effective conservation action through the development of global living collections and recovery programs around the world. The driving force behind plummeting turtle populations around the world is modern commercialized hunting of wild turtles, primarily for human consumption but also for traditional medicinal purposes, and for sale as pets.

In 2013, the TSA opened a world class conservation center in Cross, South Carolina. This center, the TSA’s first and only U.S.-based conservation center is home to a growing collection of more than 600 turtles and tortoises, representing some of the world’s most critically endangered species.
