From INFRA: In this episode of Common Roots, we chatted with Mary Walsh, Co-Founder of Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery in Greenville, South Carolina. In 2011, Mary and partner Jac left their jobs to pursue opening a neighborhood grocery dedicated to supporting local farmers and food makers. What started as an abandoned meat processing facility turned into a vibrant, walkable, and bikeable community center with an astounding 300 local farm partners.
People often overlook the positive impacts of independent, locally owned (Indie Local) businesses. The local community that an Indie Local serves may understand these impacts, but those located further away may need to be made aware of these success stories. In future posts, with your help, we will feature a few of the top Indie Locals in the nation.
