TRUCK FARMING WAS INTRODUCED IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1868 UP NEAR CHARLESTON, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL THE MID 1870S WHEN THE PORT ROYAL AUGUSTA RAILROAD RAN THROUGH THIS REGION.

THE TRUCK FARMING BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR ECONOMIC INDUSTRY HERE.

AS THESE FARMERS GREW THEIR

POTATOES, TOMATOES, CORN, BROCCOLI, ASPARAGUS, AND LETTUCE.

LETTUCE WAS ACTUALLY AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CROPS HERE.
