I'm going to say in the past 10 years, if even that long, I know of five sweetgrass fields that have been demolished.

We have no access to it anymore. There's houses there, there's roads, there's a gate that I can't get past anymore.

So, that pushes us into North Carolina to look.

We had a little spot in Walterboro that we would go to, and they sold all the pine trees off of it.

Wild sweetgrass grows under pine trees. Once you cut the pine trees down, the sweetgrass is going to die.

It's going to burn on the ends, and it needs shelter. It needs sun but not direct sun.

So, in every field that I've ever been to, the pine trees are really high and its shaded. When we go to pull sweetgrass, it's first thing in the morning. It's early, early in the morning.
