About Rosebank Farms

Visit Rosebank Farms, one of the last working family farms on Johns Island, SC, where history is celebrated and natural beauty defines rural South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Surrounded by hundreds of hydrangeas, cultivated fields, and historically significant property, Rosebank Farms is a delight for the senses.

Produce
Rosebank Farms Market features farm-fresh, seasonal produce – everything from asparagus to zucchini. In June, our famous Johns Island tomatoes share the stage with sweet corn and South Carolina peaches. Rosebank's peaches are tree-ripened, unlike those in supermarkets.

Fish and Shrimp
Grouper, flounder, and snapper are just some of the varieties of fish locally caught and available in season at Rosebank. Shrimp from local waters abound. As the locals say, “Friends don’t let friends buy imported fish and shrimp.”

Bottled and Baked Goods
Rosebank Farms Signature products include dressings, relishes, jams, jellies, sauces and more, all made for Rosebank with locally grown fruits and produce – a true taste of the Lowcountry. Cookies, pies, crab cakes, shrimp and crab dip, she crab soup, and seafood gumbo are handmade in our farm kitchen.

Flowers
Handmade daily, fresh, colorful bouquets of farm-grown seasonal flowers are prized throughout the Lowcountry. We create unique and elegant floral arrangements that showcase grasses, plants and flowers grown on the farm. Rosebank creations are regularly featured in designer home tours and highlighted in publications. Designer Louise Bennett is a sought-after speaker for garden club presentations and workshops throughout the South.

Art
Three rustic galleries showcase artwork created by Lowcountry and regional artisans. Local artists display original oil paintings, watercolors, pottery, sweetgrass baskets, wood and metal works, all offered for sale.

Animals
Young and old alike delight in visiting the barnyard. Talk to Bab-ba-lu the Macaw, hug I-Declare the miniature Brahma cow, feed the goats, scratch the pigs, pet the bunnies, or just enjoy watching Marsh Tacky the miniature horse and Bluebell the mule frolic.

History
Across these fields Lord Charles Cornwallis and Sir Henry Clinton marched with 9,000 men advancing on Charleston during the American Revolution. In these same fields, Major John Jenkins attacked with 143 men the 2,500 Union troops trying to follow Cornwallis’ success. Here the expression “de Yankee beet feet” was born.

Museum
Visit the Johns Island Museum housed in a one-room schoolhouse constructed in 1868. Trace history from 4,000-year-old Indian artifacts. See a diorama of the Civil War Battle of the Haulover. View cannon balls, bullets, pottery and bottles found in nearby fields. Learn about the evolution of money crops from sea island cotton, rice, and indigo to the revered Johns Island tomato.
