The market will close this Saturday ( the 21) and we will be open in mid January to sell items still being grown on the farm. We will post times later. Most likely the market will be open for about 4 hrs two days a week. This will be determined later. However if you want greens,  collards, trunips and/or other farm goods please call . We will be glad to help if we can. Meanwhile we will be sharping our "HOE, HOE, HOES".

  The month is full of short days that go quickly by. It means planning ahead is a needed in order to get things done.

 We have fresh greens, collards, kale, cabbage, pecans, honey and other items to help with holiday preparations.

  The bakery has many items to add to your holiday gatherings.

  The garden center has some neat gift ideas for any garden lover's list.

Short days are good for being long on love and patience.

 Good news. You still have time to place orders for baked goods. Even better news you can get fresh string beans and half runners at the market. Yes, we did save some of the beans from the cold. So fresh really means fresh. How does fresh broccoli sound. You probably are like me. You'd rather taste it than hear it. Speaking of taste, there is kale, kholrabi, collards, cabbage, radish and mustard ( slick, curly and tendergreens ). Plus something many have been waiting for, fresh apple cider ( we should be pressing Friday). So besides all the usual items like sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes, etc. you have more reasons to be thankful. Have a good Thanksgiving!

Current News

 

            

Our crops grow slowly during these short, cold winter days. Due to this the Farm Market will be closed in January and most of February. 

We will RE-OPEN as the days get longer and the plants get bigger!

In January we'll be back at 

The International Culinary Institute of Myrtle Beach

at Market Common on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 - 6:00!

With the start of a New Year we're working on some new projects, like this High Tunnel which will protect plants that are growing in the field. This allows them to mature faster, so we can have delicious produce for y'all sooner! 

We will be back at the Myrtle Beach Farmers Market starting Spring 2019 - October.
