From the Ground Up
Just ten minutes from the restaurant, Jebali Farms is where Mediterranean Cafe’s farm-to-table philosophy comes to life. This isn’t a slogan—it’s a daily practice. Founded by owner Azmi Jebali, the farm is woven into the soul of the cafe. It’s where the vegetables are grown, the flavors begin, and the menu finds its foundation.
Azmi grew up farming, and that connection to the land never left him. When he began his restaurant journey in Lexington, SC, he brought those same values with him—hard work, simple ingredients, and food that reflects care at every step.
Serving What We Grow
At Jebali Farms, we grow a wide variety of seasonal crops that make their way straight from the dirt to the dish. You’ll find leafy greens, onions, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers, peanuts, strawberries, and more—all picked at their peak and delivered directly to our kitchen.
Using modern farming techniques like drip irrigation, plastic fabrication, and licensed pesticide application, Azmi ensures every vegetable meets high standards for safety, sustainability, and flavor. The farm is most productive in May and June, but operations continue year-round as crop diversity expands with the seasons.
From Our Fields to Your Fork
Just down the road, the Farm grows the fresh produce that defines every meal at Mediterranean Cafe. What starts in our fields ends up on your plate—full of flavor, picked at its peak, and prepared with care.
Because we grow it ourselves at Jebali Farms, we know exactly what goes into every dish. Our focus on no warehouses and no shortcuts gives our food its fresh, honest flavor. When you dine with us, you’re not just enjoying Mediterranean cuisine—you’re experiencing a farm-to-table approach built on purpose. You’re supporting local farming, sustainable practices, and a restaurant that values people as much as it values quality. Come join us and taste the difference.
