Birding, Stories, and Supper on the Farm
2026-05-30 18:30 - 20:30 | Morning Glory Homestead Farm, 42 Robert and Clara Trail, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920, United States
The Field to Fork Gullah Campfire Supper at Morning Glory Homestead Farm is an immersive eco-cultural experience that brings together land, food, and story in a meaningful way. Inspired by The Home Place by J. Drew Lanham, the event invites guests to explore the deep connections between coastal ecosystems, cultural heritage, and responsible land stewardship.
Guests will begin with a guided birdwatching activity, observing the coastal landscape and the wildlife it supports. A farm tour follows, offering insight into sustainable growing practices and the importance of caring for land and natural resources.
The evening culminates in a Gullah-inspired campfire supper featuring Carolina Gold rice and Sea Island red peas from Rollen’s Raw Grain, along with locally sourced meats, fresh baked goods, and seasonal dishes—including a recipe honoring The Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis.
A highlight of the event is a presentation by Rollen Chalmers, a farmer and conservation-minded grower whose work preserving heirloom crops reflects a deep commitment to environmental stewardship, habitat preservation, and the cultural legacy of the Gullah Geechee people.
This gathering offers more than a meal—it is an opportunity to engage with the land, learn from those who steward it, and experience firsthand how conservation, culture, and community are deeply connected.
