“Get Fresh with the Locals” at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market Opening April 2!
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (April 1, 2019) – Spring has sprung, which means the time has come for opening day of the 2019 Mount Pleasant Farmers Market on April 2 at 3:30 p.m. at Moultrie Middle School.
The weekly market features vendors selling local farm-fresh produce, meats, sauces, baked goods and other specialty foods, as well as prepared food vendors for those looking for a unique meal.
Now in its 22nd year, this highly anticipated market opening is also a celebration of the hard work and dedication of each farmer and the harvest they provide for locals, visitors and restaurants alike. Farmers markets are an integral part of a healthy community and although numerous markets have opened since Mount Pleasant’s debut, participation continues to grow year after year. Several new farmers and vendors have joined the market this year.
“Our market offers what people want: freshness, authenticity, value, and connections to the farmers who grow their food,” said Market Manager Tracy Richter.
Hailed as a favorite local gathering spot, patrons can grab dinner from prepared food vendors and dine under the oaks while listening to live music during the event. Each week enjoy the acoustic sounds of local country, rock and soul musicians.
The fun continues with a special kids’ area where each week a new craft or activity awaits to spark any child’s creativity. The Clemson Extension Master Gardeners are available onsite each week to help solve most pesky gardening problems.
Admission, entertainment and activities are free, and free parking is available behind Moultrie Middle School, along Ellis St., and in a designated area at Moultrie Plaza.
The market is open every Tuesday from April through September, 3:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. For more information about the upcoming season, visit ExperienceMountPleasant.com or e-mail the market manager at farmersmarket@tompsc.com.
