York County Economic Development

We’re excited to continue our “Follow a Farmer” series in partnership with The Farmer's Feed, highlighting the people and places that continue to shape York County.
In Part 2 of 3, we step into present-day life at Cherry Place Farm with Bailey Westbrook Edwards. From long days in the field to welcoming busloads of students for field trips, this chapter captures what farming looks like right now.
It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and deeply connected to the community. From growing crops to creating meaningful experiences for the next generation, Cherry Place also plays a special role in becoming part of families’ traditions, a place people return to year after year to make memories together.
As our community grows, these are the stories we’re proud to share because they reflect the real work happening here today.
Root here. Rise here.
Shaping what’s next.

ICYMI: We had the honor of being part of the launch of York, SC Main Street back in February, and it’s been exciting to see the continued momentum building in downtown York.
The Main Street York initiative reflects a strong commitment to strengthening downtown as the heart of the community, supporting small businesses, encouraging local investment, and preserving the character that makes unique.
From continued investment along Main Street to local spots like Five Blossoms Shoppe bringing locally rooted goods and experiences right into the heart of downtown, it’s clear this work is already making an impact.
Efforts like this play an important role in economic development, helping create vibrant, walkable districts that attract visitors, support entrepreneurs, and contribute to long-term growth.
Root Here. Rise Here. 🌱

It was great to see Five Blossoms Farm recently open their new shop in York, expanding the reach of their family-run flower farm and adding even more color to downtown York. We were grateful to be part of the celebration alongside so many members of the local business community.
Local businesses like this play an important role in the broader story of York County’s economy. They support our agricultural roots, strengthen our downtowns, and add to the unique character of our communities.
It’s exciting to see more of these connections between local agriculture, small business, and community taking shape across the county.
Wishing the team at Five Blossoms Farm continued success as they grow.
