Libby's Legacy
fresh food, seasonal cooking, and the belief that healthy eating matters
Libby Steadham was a lifelong advocate and teacher who believed eating healthy foods is the foundation of good nutrition and wellness.
A devoted supporter and long-time vendor at the OBFM, Libby carried her passion into writing Seasonal Cooking from the Garden in 2021- a cookbook filled with recipes and personal stories about growing and preparing fresh produce.
One of her final wishes was for the OBFM to continue offering her cookbook, with proceeds benefiting a local organization that promotes healthy eating and nutrition.

Libby's Legacy in Action
Libby’s Legacy is alive and thriving at the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market. Through free chef demonstrations, hands-on gardening tips, beekeeping education, and more, her passion for healthy eating and learning continues to grow.
