Join us for these community events and activities that directly connects consumers with the farmers, restaurants, businesses and organizations that make the Lowcountry a one-of-a-kind place to live, eat and drink! Eat Drink Local Challenge: Make the Shift May 1-31 Lowcountry Local First’s Eat Drink Local Challenge takes place throughout the entire month of May each year. We challenge you to shift $10 or more of your weekly food spending towards the local food and beverage system. By signing the Pledge, we'll guide you on where to find the freshest ingredients, highlight participating restaurants, suggest places to grab a local libation, feature easy recipes, connect you with local farmers and CSAs and more!

By participating in the Eat Drink Local Challenge, we'll help you "Make the Shift" in your choices, spending and overall food and drinking habits. The challenge is open to individuals and businesses.
