In the past twelve years the Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery has grown from basically an idea about connecting local food sources with local buyers to an Upstate icon.

Swamp Rabbit Grocery works with over 300 vendors and farmers and they employ 100 folks.

They’re kind of a big deal.

And also - they are straight forward and mission minded. They believe in the work and in the people.

We chatted with Mary, co-owner of the grocery. Enjoy this episode - we’re lucky to have Swamp Rabbit in the Upstate.
