At James Island, our host Jade (@JadeofallJades) chats with matriarch in the making, Amethyst Ganaway (@thizzg) of Yolélé, about the so-called seed of the universe, before heading further south to Hardeeville, where she meets with master rice grower, Rollen Chalmers of Rollen’s Raw Grains (@RollensRawGrains).
