Our signature sauce is a Pepper Vinegar sauce with a bit of a bite. Always homemade.

Starting from scratch not only creates a better product, but allows our funds to go further. We can create a gallon of our signature sauce for about $5 vs $30 or more buying it.

Quality food, done the old way.

We are thankful for community partners like Hickory Bluff Berry Farm (at the Summerville Farmers Market NOW!) for generous contributions that allow us to continue to support great organizations in Summerville like Katie's Krops. You’ll see these guys on their menu soon!

It’s worth noting that it’s getting harder and harder to find heritage, South Carolina produce like these White Acre peas and okra. Folks like the Parker Family are keeping our foodways alive right in our backyard.

Head out to the Summerville Farmers Market, grab some awesome local produce from folks like Hickory Bluff Berry Farm, and tell them thank you for all they do to support our community!

Thank you to Ellie and Howard for helping Riley and I chop and package nearly 100 lbs (cooked weight!) of BBQ the other night!

We couldn’t continue to feed the community without folks like them.

Days don’t always go as planned, especially with wood cooked food.

When starting the fires this morning, we suffered a pit fire. Luckily, all the meat was saved and the fire suppressed. We’ll make the needed repairs to the pit, but was able to get going a little later after a thorough cleaning of all the salt used to extinguish.

We still produced 120 lbs of pork today, short of the plan, but great considering! Looking forward to this raising much needed capital for our community.

First round below:

We are cooking 150 lbs of pork tomorrow. That calls for a lot of rub. You should taste the meat and the smoke, so we go salt only on our skin on pieces (picnics and bellies) and use this rub on the butts.

We mix our own with a simple southern profile and add a little something extra not pictured to get it just right.

From Red rice, to hash, to okra and tomatoes…we go through a lot.

Started the morning today processing 25 lbs of stewing tomatoes. This won’t last long but had an easy Friday morning (thanks to kids waking me up at 5).

We might work on donations, but we never cut corners.

If you’re not keeping up and following Beyond BASIC, please do! This all started because of their Barbecue Bash last year…and I am hearing we will be doing it again once it cools down!

It was an outstanding afternoon of friends, fellowship, and the birth of the mission we have right here.

Keep an eye out for a fun Summerville day!

We do things a little different. We support other Summerville Non-Profits so that they can continue to give back to our community with 100% of their receipts.

Tonight we had the opportunity to join the Summerville Exchange Club for their social. A great evening was had by all and we appreciate their generous donations (all food provided free of charge to the club!)!

Hash and rice, BBQ, coleslaw, green beans, and more were served…and they ate it all.

With their generous contributions, we can pay it forward to another 2 events! Hoping that we can add more to that list.

If you can donate, it is appreciated and tax deductible. A flyer is below. 100% of the money you donate goes toward providing food for other non profits, first responders, veterans, schools, and community organizations within Summerville.
