The Farm is located within the neighborhood at 228 Old Moreland Road in Bluffton, and in addition to vendors and area farmers, the Palmetto Bluff farm will be contributing produce to the new farmers market.

Although Palmetto Bluff is a private community, members of the public are welcome to the new farmers market.

Since The Farm, the location for the new farmers market, is within Palmetto Bluff, visitors can inform the front gate that they are going to the farmers market to gain entry.

For those looking to apply to be a vendor at this new market, the Palmetto Bluff Farmers Market will not require a vendor fee because of Palmetto Bluff’s support of local farms and small businesses in the area.
