City Roots - CSA Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

***** REVIEW OF MARDI GRAS PARADE ONLY, City Roots was the host ****** The annual Mardi Gras parade was held at this location. They had a small parade, beer of course, and a few food trucks. I wont compare this to other Mardi Gras parades that I have been too. This was a nice outing for families with small kids (free beads) and those who wanna stand around a drink beer all day. I checked in and out in less than a hr. Tip: This has potential if the whole city would participant, other parades Ive seen in Columbia have much more community involvement. I will attend other events and try some of the fresh food (Farm To Table Events, and update the review. read more

See all

Closed and absolutely no warning! Residents just chilling inside and out with a heck of a business going to waste. read more

City Roots - A farm not productive - CSA Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

City Roots is a fantastic, unique part of Columbia. During the week they have a small selection of what is in season as well as Microgreens. You can find Kale, berries, cucumbers, carrots, salad mix and whatever else they are harvesting. They now also have eggs from the chickens onsite. They also set up at local markets such as Soda City on Main St (Sat 8-12 summer 9-1pm winter) and USC's Healthy Carolina market. If you go make sure you take the self guided tour and see the grounds. They also have a CSA for each seaon. read more

I wish they had a separate event page but I will put my review for the 2nd annual oyster and pig roast here.The oysters were super fresh. Now at the beginning they range from perfectly cooked to raw but they were definitely delicious. later on as the hordes calmed the oysters were more evenly steamed. The event was very well put together. It was $45 for all and I do mean all the oysters you could eat and then there was an entire roast pig with sides. The pig and sides was limited but by the end you could have had as much pig as you wanted to go back for. The pig and the sides were all solid. They had a couple bands that played and fire pits that were kept well stocked. All the people running the event were friendly and helpful. cant wait until next year! read more

This farm has no idea how to farm or what agriculture is. As an agriculture major, the lady who showed us around could not answer any questions we had and when she did she could not back her answers up with facts. In addition, they package food to sell to retail stores like Whole Foods but take no biosecurity measure, for example the lady packing the microgreens had no gloves on, and she stepped outside and was on her phone and began packaging again without washing her hands read more

I love local food!!! Local grown, cooked, served. It's how we keep SC' s economy strong. So with that in mind I headed down to CR to pick up some fresh SC grown produce. Walked in and there were plenty of red tomatoes and some beet up squashes and some over ripe cucumbers. Not the Jazz I was hoping for. But none the less I want to do my part and and I grab one cucumber and two small tomatoes. I head to the register and am told "that will be $7.00". My heart skipped a beat. The tomatoes weighed in at almost a pound. They sold for $3 a pound. The cucumbers had no price marked. But apparently they were $4 each. I'm all for local local local. So I paid and walked away with the wind blown right out of my sails. I am a gardener by trade and the amount of weeds I saw there was overwhelming. Poor plants having to fight for nutrients because of so many weeds. Sorry for the rant but I expected more awesome not more money out of my pocket. Farmers market it is. read more
