Rosebank has been in business since 1975, and Limehouse won the 2019 Swisher International South Carolina Farmer of the Year award.
He has farmed the island since about 1960 and once farmed about 700 acres; by 2006 it was about 60, all rented.
Some 2023–24 press gave 3883 Betsy Kerrison Pkwy, which is the Kiawah River office and entrance.

843-729-9606 (on Lowcountry Local First) · 843-870-0414 (for Fields Farm Market, on the state's 2025 list)
The story
The farm is stewarded by Joseph Fields, a third-generation Gullah Geechee farmer.
Helen Fields began working the farm at 13 alongside Joseph; their grandson, CJ Dillahunt, will inherit it. The farm offers tours, and Helen hopes to open a museum on the property.
In 2006 the family grew collards and butterbeans without chemicals and sold to Whole Foods and Earth Fare. Joseph's six siblings all lived as neighbors on the family land, which kept it clear of the heirs'-property sales that hit nearby farms.

A day on Wadmalaw
The Wadmalaw farm road trip
Cross the bridge from Johns Island on Maybank Highway and every stop below is on Wadmalaw. The posted hours overlap Tuesday to Thursday, 10 am to 3 pm. Bugby’s u-pick is seasonal and Southern Oaks is by appointment, so call those two first.
Stop 1 · Just over the bridge
Bugby Plantation U-Pick: strawberries in season. Mon–Sat 9–5; call for dates, and bring cash.
Stop 3 · Bears Bluff Rd
Deep Water Vineyard: first planted in muscadine grapes in 2001, with tastings Tue–Sat 10–5.
Stop 4 · Black Pond Lane
Ambrose Family Farm: the stand, 9–5 year-round, and u-pick berries in spring and summer.
- Firefly Distillery began at the Irvin-House vineyard but now operates at 4201 Spruill Ave in North Charleston, so it isn't a Wadmalaw stop.
- Rockville, on Wadmalaw, was historically a village of shrimpers, fishermen and farmers.
