Summer is in the air here in South Carolina and that means the return of many seasonal farmers' markets.
Farmers' markets are the perfect place to spend a day outside and are filled with locally sourced goods, plants, and plenty of entertainment.
This charming roadside market located out in Florence is no exception.
Welcome to the Pee Dee State Farmers' Market, situated on fifty-five acres of once rural farmland. Today, the market is a sprawling 45,000-square-foot haven for those looking for plants, produce, and beautiful flowers.
The market features some of the state’s freshest and finest produce and has also become a prime destination for travelers on the way to Myrtle Beach. On some weekends, the market sees up to 13,000 visitors.
Upon pulling up, you'll be welcomed by a grassy lot filled with colorful potted plants perfect for your garden or front walkway.
Keep walking and you'll come across the massive covered shed filled with a seemingly endless array of vegetables, fruits, meats, and cheeses.
The market also offers plenty of delicious eats too like Aloha Kitchen, a new eatery offering up classic American fare with a Hawaiin twist like loaded french fries and chicken katsu cutlet.
There is also plenty of other unique vendors to check out there selling things like homemade jewelry, home decor, decorative wreaths, flags, banners, and so much more.
Whether you're looking for some fresh ingredients for a home cooked meal or a one-of-a-kind gift, Pee Dee State definitely has what you are looking for.
The market is actually open year-round, every Monday through Saturday from 8 am until 6 pm. Parking and admission are always free.
