2022 Farmer's Market and U-Pick Guide

By Taylor Sanchez April 4, 2022

There is no better time than now to be supporting locals for the freshest and farm-to-table options. North Carolina and South Carolina produce, protein, and farmer's markets are so important to our communities for many reasons. Without them, many family businesses and restaurants would go out of business.  

Please make sure to check each business for safety procedures, hours of operation, and availability before going.
