Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of Beaufort County residents by honoring traditional Gullah practices and cultivating the next generation of Lowcountry farmers and chefs. We provide young people with hands-on experiences that build leadership, stewardship, and a deep connection to the land.

Through our programs, we've expanded organic farming across the island and empowered youth to embrace values like teamwork, entrepreneurship, and the vital link between nutrition and health.

At the helm of Marshview are Mrs. Sara’ Reynolds Green, our CEO and Co-Founder, and her husband, Bill Green. Under their guidance, Marshview is managed from seed to harvest by our students, ages 8 to 18, alongside two part-time farm workers. Our scholars work after school and on weekends to cultivate the land, start seeds, nurture seedlings, plant gardens, weed, maintain crops, and harvest the bounty.
