Summer is here and the latest round of improvements to the She Shed are a wrap. It’s hard to stay cool this time of year but thankfully we have lots of new seating in the shade, fans, cold AC, a fridge to keep drinks cold, a new used bigger smart TV and free wifi for our volunteers, students, patrons and day tourists to enjoy. Stop by, learn more about our program offerings, pick up some free island real estate info and check out our merch! You can shop for shirts, hats, stickers, magnets, postcards, beverages and more. Our hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11:30-4:30, otherwise by appointment. Also, be sure to browse our new shop online, where we are having a 50% OFF clearance sale!

Maybe one of our biggest dreams has just become a reality. Tony got the mill his heart has been set on for years. He found it on a small, obscure, online estate sale auction up in Minnesota last October. We won the bid, then it was shipped to Baker, the manufacturer in St. Louis. They spent a few months in maintenance on it, replacing hydraulic lines etc and it just arrived to Daufuskie. The name Big John is tribute to Tony’s father who passed away before we ever met and taught Tony so much about carpentry and construction. We will be selectively harvesting the timber on our property to make room for pasture and milling the logs into horse fencing, barn posts, beams, siding, decking…!
