Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery

Our Story

The Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery began as a dream shared by Mary and Jac, two individuals passionate about supporting local farmers and fostering a thriving food system. In early 2011, with a vision in their hearts and a determination in their eyes, they embarked on a journey to establish a grocery store and cafe that would become a hub for community and sustainability.

Located in Greenville, South Carolina, the Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery stands as a testament to the power of a community coming together to support local agriculture.
