Here's where to find farmers markets in the Myrtle Beach area

Spring has sprung and that means it’s time for the opening of the area farmers markets.

“We’re excited to have an early start this year at several market locations, and extra pop-up markets throughout the season,” said Waccamaw Market Cooperative Executive Director Samantha Tipton.

The Waccamaw Market Cooperative is a 501c3 nonprofit organization responsible for coordinating and managing community-based farmers markets throughout Horry and Georgetown Counties.

Guided by Clemson University’s Cooperative Extension, the cooperative now includes a network of markets sponsored by public and private organizations in the region – ensuring that local communities in the Waccamaw region have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Each market hosts a variety of goods from local farms, talented local artisans, food vendors and some nonprofit organizations.

Valor Park (1120 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach) and Surfside Beach (corner of Surfside Dr. and Willow Drive) markets began the first week of April, as well as the market located at the Hammock Shops on the south end and Murrells Inlet’s in the Lee’s Inlet Kitchen parking lot.

“Starting the first week of May we’ll be in full swing at all locations with lots of returning vendors and new vendors to check out as well,” Tipton said. “We post regular updates and vendor spotlights on social media, so be sure to follow along.”
