My Favorite Local Holiday Tradition…

We enjoy skating at Ice on Main in
Downtown Greenville.
 

Rebecca Yeargin, Hydrate Health

We always meet at the Hyatt downtown
and look at the trees decorated by different groups, charities, etc., and then go to dinner somewhere downtown. There’s about 20 of us,
including family from North Carolina.

Not only do they have processing and networking systems in place, but there is the Green Market & Cafe on-site as well as opportunities to rent their commercial kitchen. They also have an event room that can seat 90.

According to Mary Hipp, Feed & Seed Board Chair, “The mission of Feed and Seed is to make fresh food available to all of South Carolina. Then, making it affordable at the same time by keeping it a local food location and fresh; because it’s right here in your backyard.”
