Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort offers promising agribusiness opportunities for veteran farmers interested in small-scale production and direct-to-consumer sales. Beaufort County’s agricultural sector, though smaller, is growing, with the market value of products sold increasing by 16% to $23.6 million in 2022. The county has 101 farms covering 36,074 acres, with 97% of sales coming from crops. Local farmers’ markets, including the Port Royal Farmers Market and St. Helena Community Market, provide platforms for small producers to sell directly to consumers and the military community. With the military’s substantial economic presence and the growing interest in local produce, veteran farmers have opportunities sell fresh, locally sourced agricultural products.
