Join the Gullah Cooking School

Enrollment Extended Until June 15th

Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of Beaufort County residents by honoring traditional Gullah practices and cultivating the next generation of Lowcountry farmers and chefs. We provide young people with hands-on experiences that build leadership, stewardship, and a deep connection to the land.

Through our programs, we've expanded organic farming across the island and empowered youth to embrace values like teamwork, entrepreneurship, and the vital link between nutrition and health.

We use the farm as a conduit to expand economic, social, health, spiritual, and cultural opportunities for youth and adults on St. Helena Island. Our work is implemented through our "Young Farmers & Chefs of the Lowcountry" training programs, which include:

  • Organic Farming Practices

  • Gullah Cooking School

  • Family Backyard Garden Boxes

  • St. Helena Island Home Repair Program

  • Home Cooked Meals Program

  • Mini Marketplace

  • De Gullah Way Tutorial

  • Gullah Cultural Production Project

  • Basic Vocational Skills Training (bicycle repair, birdhouse building, and more)

At the helm of Marshview are Mrs. Sara’ Reynolds Green, our CEO and Co-Founder, and her husband, Bill Green. Under their guidance, Marshview is managed from seed to harvest by our students, ages 8 to 18, alongside two part-time farm workers. Our scholars work after school and on weekends to cultivate the land, start seeds, nurture seedlings, plant gardens, weed, maintain crops, and harvest the bounty.
