They partner with local chefs and businesses in the area and provide them with all their healthy, leafy goodness. They grow micro-greens, rare leafy greens, a blend of artisan lettuce, and specialty herbs. They are a sustainable, eco-friendly entity providing healthy ingredients across the Charleston area.

This is a review solely for the Food Film Festival that was held at Growfood. They're planning to…read moremake it an annual event and I'd highly recommend attending the next one! I went with a couple of friends and we had the best time. It was a great event at a great venue. How many times have you watched a film (for me, it's the tv show Top Chef) and saw something that looked incredibly tasty and wished you could sample it? The idea of the Food Film Festival was born from that very desire. I went to Friday night's event which was called Edible Adventure #007: International Meal of Mystery. Some of the offerings weren't necessarily international per se (there were some films/food from Chicago and Canada) but we'll let that slide because honestly who cares when you're stuffing your face? For the price of a ticket (with a discount code it was $45), we got to watch about 8 short films (ranging from 45 seconds to around 12 minutes), beer and/or wine and a plethora of different foods to sample. While you're watching these films, there will come a pivotal time where you'll say to yourself "wow, that looks great. I wonder what that tastes like." And then, right on cue, out comes the food and you get to taste the very food you're watching on the screen. We enjoyed pretty much everything we were offered, from the savory pocket pies to the amazing doughnuts, all of which were either prepared on site or flown in overnight, with a lot of the food being served by the same people featured in these films. The big showstopper meal of the night was the ramen that was made by the star of the documentary, Ramen Dreams. This was real authentic ramen made by a ramen master flown in from Japan. This is not the $1 ramen that got us through our college years. It looked amazing and tasted even better! I missed out on going to Saturday night's event but if it was anything like Friday night's, I'm sure it was just as great. These unique kinds of events is what makes us so fortunate to be living in a place like Charleston. I thought it was such a fun experience and can't wait to see what they'll bring us next year!

So as a grocery store, I would say 3.5 stars and as an eatery, I would say 4.5 stars so let's call…read morethat an even 4 stars for El Molino. Grocery: I love how the place is so fresh and modern with cool displays like the orange trees when you walk in the door, but every time I walk around to shop, I don't end up finding much that I need. Usually at cultural grocery stores, I find some unique selections of things I can't find elsewhere as well as great prices on things that are more common. While I do find some great hot sauces and some other items, I feel that the standard items are higher priced than most grocery stores. For that reason, I only end up purchasing a few select items from the grocery area. Eatery: I love going in for tacos or a platter. I need to try some of the other items too. It's great that there are so many options, but it's also like a food court and you need to go to different places for different things. Until you've been a few times, you kinda have to figure it out for yourself. The food is always great though. I have a few tacos that I haven't loved, but I just don't order those ones when I go back. As of now it's set up great for getting food to go and then they have a bunch of tables if you want to dine in. It would be great if they added some more atmosphere to the dining experience like their taqueria in Johns Island.

The atmosphere is lively and perfect for a weekend outing. We weee visiting and picked up some great gifts to bring home. We enjoyed browsing what the has to offer & thought our coffee were delightful from Coastal Cowgirl Coffee too! My daughter got cotton candy that did t have much flavor just tasty ed of plain sure yet still a fun treat. They have the nicest set up for pets. Little doggie stations that have tents, towels, buckets of water and bowls for them to rehydrate. They go above and beyond for their furry friends visiting the market. Only downside was that it gets quite crowded, fresh produce and local crafts can be somewhat expensive & you have to pay for parking, so you may have a little further of a walk to get there.

So many great vendors, food options, great music, and a friendly atmosphere. I wish we were staying longer in the area, we would have bought more and tried more food. We got cookies from the cookie vendor, dog treats (that my dog loves) from the southern barkery, pasta from the lady that sells homemade pasta, peaches, blue berries from a farmer, and jalapeño and cheese sausage, and eggs from the guy that sells meat. We also got a lemonade from the lemonade guy. All 5 stars. Amazing eggs. Pasta was amazing. Great cookies. Great fruit. These vendors/farmers really know what they are doing. And great music. Can't wait to go back.

We arrived at…read more1:24 PM, before your posted closing time of 1:30, yet your staff was already shutting down and refused to sell us pasta. We were told "the bell has rung" and that they were closing, even though it wasn't yet 1:30. We visit weekly specifically to purchase your pasta, so this was both frustrating and surprising. Turning away regular customers before your stated closing time is not good business practice and ultimately drives loyal customers away. Because of this experience, I will no longer be supporting Rio Bertolini and sharing my negative experience with others.
