Photos 17Issue June 2014
Shawn Thackeray has been growing his signature—and aptly named—“Wadmalaw Fuglies” at his farm on the island for 12 years. These are picked green for shipping to supermarket shelves.

Thackeray also produces a bounty of other tomatoes, including these colorful heirloom cherries.Shawn Thackeray has been growing his signature—and aptly named—“Wadmalaw Fuglies” at his farm on the island for 12 years.
