Now Good House Keeping has featured a story about summer travel to Daufuskie Island

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals. Outfitters can help facilitate kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or even horseback riding on the beach. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/g44392660/best-places-to-travel-in-august/

We are so glad you found us! You are always “Welcome Home” at The Roost.      We are a small veteran owned, family run USDA farm on Daufuskie Island. We raise laying hens and are learning to practice regenerative agriculture. We envision greater self sufficiency, sustainability and affordable healthy options for our family and yours.   We sell hand gathered eggs and have begun to offer some produce. Many visitors stop to see our garden and meet our rescue animals.    Here at the Roost we care for the animals and the environment. We are learning through Clemson and The South Carolina New and Beginning Farmer Program to avoid the use of pesticides and chemicals on our property. We feed our hens  an organic diet and our animals receive regular veterinary care. ​ Everything we do at The Roost is with love and intention. This is our home and our rescues forever home. We hope to convey that feeling to everyone we meet.   " Adam and Laura greet you like family. They are an enthusia stic

The Story of Scrap Iron In the early 1900's more than 2000 black African Americans lived on Daufuskie Island. They made their living from the oyster beds that surrounded Daufuskie. Oysters were harvested, canned, and shipped all over the world. Progress came to Savannah, Georgia and factories were built along the Savannah River. The Savannah River was polluted and the pollution flowed into the oyster beds around Daufuskie. The Federal government condemned the harvesting of oysters on the Island and 2000 people were out of work in one day. The exodus began and the population dropped to around 100 people when I came to Daufuskie in the '70's. The people that stayed had to make a living another way and they all knew how to make a great corn liquor and the ladies made wines. The men would load the corn liquor in small oyster boats and row or sail it to Savannah. Sometimes it would take a day to get there. In early days they would get 5 dollars for 50 gallons, but it gav
