Our Roots
Good food, grown to give back
RedGate Farms is a working farm in Shallotte, NC, led by our farm manager and a hard-working crew. Across about 20 acres in cultivation we raise berries, melons, squash, peppers, and greens, keep our own hens and beehives, and load it all up for the market through the week.
Everything is grown all natural and all organic, using modern irrigation to make the most of every drop. More than that, this farm exists to give back – the work here helps people in our community get back on their feet while putting honest, locally grown food on your table.
