Mount Pleasant Farmers Market
In Your Date Range
The market is the perfect place to buy fresh, locally grown produce. This family-friendly event has become a gathering place for locals and has inspired the market’s catchy logo “Get Fresh with the Locals!” At the heart of the market are two large pavilions housing farmers and food vendors, an open-air plaza, plenty of green space, magnificent live oaks, and seating areas.
“Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the market’s treasure trove of fruits, vegetables, flowers, preserves, dips, breads, pies, and other treats,” said Ashley McKenzie, Community Development and Tourism Officer. “Savor a fresh meal by one of our food vendors and enjoy live music and children’s activities. Also available for your assistance are the Clemson Extension Master Gardeners. These seasoned volunteers can help solve most pesky gardening problems. You’ll also find community information from the Town of Mount Pleasant and various other non-profit organizations. Make the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market a weekly affair!”
