Certified SC Grown Program

 
 
The Certified South Carolina program is a cooperative effort among producers, processors, wholesalers, retailers and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) to brand and promote South Carolina products. Our goal is for consumers to be able to easily identify, find and buy South Carolina products.
 
Public interest and perceptions, image and awareness, distribution, legislation, regulations all have an impact on the sustainability and growth of agribusiness. In order to tackle these issues, overcome obstacles and keep agriculture profitable, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture in cooperation with public and private partners has implemented the Certified South Carolina program.

Certified South Carolina is a call to action for South Carolina citizens as we ask you to Buy South Carolina because Nothing's Fresher. Nothing's Finer.
 
Farmers and processors from across the state are invited to be a part of this unique, industrywide marketing and branding effort of the SCDA.

Fresh on the Menu, the second phase of the Certified SC program, was launched in February 2008. Fresh on the Menu and all phases of the Certified South Carolina campaign
have been established with one main objective – to increase the per capita income of rural South Carolinians through the generation of agricultural commerce. By providing consumers with the ability to easily identify, find, and buy South Carolina products, we are meeting that goal.
