Interested in seeing some of the work from this year’s Berry Creative Campaign? Be sure to visit the Charleston County Library downtown throughout the month of May to see some of the amazing work from area schools. Here is a peak of what you will see!
Limehouse Produce is proud to announce the winners of the third annual “Berry Creative” Strawberry Campaign. For the campaign, area elementary schools submitted their best artwork and creative projects promoting strawberries. School classes submitted recipes, drawings, artwork, or stories all showcasing more about the popular fruit.
Limehouse received more entries than ever and decided to select a grand prize winner and to designate four categories for other winners:
As the Overall Winner, Hursey Elementary receives a Grand Prize of 100 pounds of local strawberries, a special trophy to display at school, and passes to Boone Hall Plantation to pick strawberries or to attend their annual Strawberry Festival. The four category winners receive a special trophy and 100 lbs. of strawberries. All students that enters in the competition will receive strawberries for their class to enjoy. The Charleston County Library Main Branch will have a special display showcasing some of the items in May.
After receiving a few dozen entries for the 2016 Citrus Celebration, Limehouse Produce is excited to announce this year’s winners:
Best Dish: The Granary’s Hiser Farms Clams with Meyer Lemon, Cara Cara navel, Satsuma mandarin
Best Drink: On Forty One’s Chinese Christmas with Hat Trick Gin, satsuma juice, lime juice, star anise, lemongrass, red jalapeno simple syrup and orange bitters
It was a tough decision for the judges (all of the entries were delicious and creative) and we are excited for the winners! As winner, The Granary will have a dish featured on the side of a truck and On Forty One’s drink will be featured in the May issue of The Local Palate.
Limehouse Produce, a proud annual supporter of the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, has wrapped a delivery truck with a special festival design to celebrate and promote the 2016 event. The wrapped truck features Charleston Wine + Food’s 2016 campaign icons (including the Gastronaut – a culinary adventurer) perfectly paired with Limehouse’s signature lime, and can be seen driving around town starting today.
People that “Find the Truck” can snap a photograph and post to either the company’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Limehouse-Produce/145010405572579), on Instagram (@limehouselocal) or on the Festival’s facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ChsWineandFood/) or Instagram (@chswineandfood) with the tag #CWFFLimeTruck. One lucky person who submits an image will be selected randomly to win a pair of tickets to the Culinary Village on Sunday. The deadline to submit photos is Friday, February 26 for consideration.
Anyone can submit photos and there is also no limit to the amount that one post to the sites. Limehouse Produce does ask that all photos are done parked and not while driving a vehicle.
Limehouse Produce became Green Plus Certified by the Institute of Sustainable Development, a nationally recognized, third party green business certification that indicates a company’s dedication to sustainable practices. The certification requires companies to take an online assessment of their efforts across three categories—People, Planet, and Performance. This certification validates Limehouse’s commitment to their environmental, social and business practices.
Some of the sustainable practices by Limehouse Produce include:
Over twenty of Charleston’s best bars and restaurants are getting into the citrusy spirit as they showcase delicious drinks, dishes, and desserts as part of Limehouse Produce’s 2016 Citrus Celebration. This year, participants were asked to get a little more creative and select from just four citrus items: cara cara oranges, satsuma tangerines, pumellos, and meyer lemons when creating their items.
Limehouse Produce is once again sharing more details on these featured dishes and drinks on their website along with recipes for people to download and try on their own. Patrons can also go and ask for the respected dish or drink at the participants locations until the end of February.
A panel of judges will be visiting the top five places from each category and select a winner for the Best Citrus Dish and Best Citrus Drink. Each winner will be promoted on the website, social media outlets, and to the media. NEW THIS YEAR: The restaurant with the winning dish will be featured on the side of a Limehouse Produce truck and the winning drink will be featured in a ½ page ad in The Local Palate.
