From Port Royal to Hilton Head, here’s when, where to find Beaufort Co. farmers markets
Sunny days and warming temperatures are sure signs of spring in the Lowcountry, and with that comes an abundance of fresh, local produce at local farmers markets.
Is there a better way nourish your body and lift your spirits at the same time?
Below is a list of popular farmers and artisan markets in Beaufort County.
We know there are many more farm stands, co-ops and home-based businesses not on this list. For now, though, we are focusing on established events where a shopper can meander around a variety of booths meeting the people who grow or make products, try samples and purchase favorites.
