Fresh on the Menu
Fresh on the Menu, the second phase of the Certified SC program, includes restaurants partnering in an  effort to put at least 25% Certified SC Grown foods and products on the menu in season. The South Carolina Department of Agriculture challenges all South Carolinians to support, ask for and to remember to buy
