Bradley Taggart grows eight varieties of bananas in his Johns Island backyard and sells under the name Carolina Bananas. He expects to harvest within about a month and has won a $5,000 grant from the S.C. Department of Agriculture's ACRE program to expand acreage and production.
Why this matters here
This is a one-man operation with a product almost nobody in South Carolina is growing, and no customers named yet. The hard part is not the bananas. It is getting the right few hundred neighbors and kitchens to learn the name.
