Great prices on produce. Brought a yellow watermelon yesterday. Delicious!
If you haven't gotten your hind quarters up, and gone to the SC Farmers Market, then I don't know what's wrong with you!
2 of the most sacred words in food ingredients are there: LOCALLY GROWN.
You can shop the Farmers Market, and get stuff darned near fresh out of the ground, and, even that, which isn't is kept in deep refrigeration that suspends or slows the decay/wilting process, so much that, if you cook produce from here, as soon as you get home, the flavors taste farm-to-table fresh.
There's a variety of vendors from industrial farms, to mom-and-pops, and you can find just about any kind of produce that you're looking for, frequently at better-than-grocery-store prices.

We only went for flowers for planting in our garden this trip because they have better prices than any nursery. Most fruits and veggies are not available yet but we at least every other week when things are in season.
Love going there. Getting plants and herbs from this place getting things ready for summer.
It's too early for the produce area but in past visits, when the season is right, the selection is very good and you're helping local growers. Then there is the plant area...so much to choose from! I loaded one of the carts and was amazed at how little I paid! If I have 1 complaint it is that not all prices are shown. That said, it is understandable considering the volume and almost constant influx of new plants. Prepare to spend some time as unlike your local nursery, not all varieties are grouped together, but the selection is amazing! I did not get to the area where they had the tomato plants, zucchini, etc. but based on the truck they were unloading and the quantity and quality of the plants in people's carts, the selection is good!
The flower show was great .There were so many people and exhibits to enjoy.
I'm so glad I attended

Worth the drive if you are able to go to support local farmers, get some of the best priced and best quality organic produce and a great variety of vendors. Its also very accessible as you can drive up to the vendor stands and have the option of exploring the market on foot or not. There’s also a friendly rooster.
