Top: The most sought after in the corn family – Silver Queen – straight from Joseph Fields Farm. Left: Rina Palmer, owner of Rina’s Kitchen, proudly stands
by her jams and relishes. Above: Luscious Carolina peaches by the basketful.
Nearby is Mike Shaughnessy, owner
of Mike’s Peanuts, with his old-time rig for boiling and deep-frying pea- nuts. He represents a dying breed on the Carolina landscape, even though boiled peanuts are the official state snack. His calling card boasts that he sells a “Certified SC Product.” Te Great Harvest Bread Co.,
known for its catchy slogan, “Bak- ing a Difference in Mount Pleasant,” is a hit with its creative whole grain breads, many of which, like apple crunch, sound more like dessert. Ashley Swider, the owner of Yes
You May Cookies, shares space both at the market and at her kitchen on Coleman Boulevard with Romeo Organic Baby Foods. Both products will soon be avail- able at Whole Foods. Mepkin Abbey’s fresh gourmet mushrooms can often be found at
the market, and the dried version is always available. Up from Gardens Corner, S.C., Les Lambert, owner of Great Food Co-op, is surrounded by his preserves and relishes, his fruit-flavored ciders and dried fruits. He explains his wares to Tabi Jaglowicz, director of marketing for Island Realty, who listens intently and then buys a bagful. Te farmers of Johns Island round out the market offerings with stalls of freshly harvested produce: tomatoes, corn, yellow squash, watermelon, cantaloupe and more. Joseph Fields Farm and Freeman Farms are among the most well-known entities.

The Charleston City Paper on March 3, 2010 said, “The most unique Shem Creek dining experience, however, is to be found at The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene, named for a trawler wrecked by Hurricane Hugo near the spot where the restaurant stands today. That spot is a little hard to find, since it’s tucked away down in the Old Village neighborhood almost at the mouth of the creek (between Magwood & Wando).
The Wreck is a low-key, bare-bones place that sits on a big dock looking out over Shem Creek. It specializes in big, freshly made portions of local seafood, and the menu is simple: various combinations of grilled or fried fish, shrimp and scallops, along with fried oysters, deviled crab and stone crab claws, too.”
