Our store is in the heart of the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry and we
specialize in the foods of this region. We are located just outside of historic Beaufort,
South Carolina - halfway between Charleston and Savannah. Our family has been

the flavors and gain a nationwide following. The ciders are all-natural and we never
add any sugar or preservatives; just plenty of fresh fruit flavor. We’re the original

shelves of hand-made jams and preserves, pickles and relishes. We also carry a tasty
selection of stone ground grits, Carolina rice and baking mixes. All of our products
are southern made, produced in small batches using fresh ingredients and seasonal
produce. The flavors will delight you!

Sweet Grass Dairy
Thomasville, GA
Sweet Grass Dairy has quickly established itself as one of the country’s premier artisan cheese producers. Founded in 2000 by Al and Desiree Wehner on 140 acres of rolling south-Georgia pastureland, the dairy started with a small herd of 11 dairy goats, grass-based jersey cow’s milk from their herd in the neighboring county, and a mission to show people a better way. Today the mission remains the same: handcrafting unique old-world style cheeses, while maintaining respect for the history, philosophy, and values that started Sweet Grass Dairy. Our commitment to sustainable, earth-friendly farming and the artisanal philosophy of cheese making is as strong as it has ever been. We are fortunate to have the ability to control production from the ground up, which allows us to provide flavorful and healthful foods from our family to yours. Thank you for supporting a small family owned and operated dairy.
