The Fountain Inn Farmers Market Is Back For Its 11th Year

The Fountain Inn Farmers Market will reopen on May 2nd for its 11th season and will be open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon until August 28th.

This year’s season will have the most vendors than ever before, with 38 seasonal vendors and 15 weekly applicants. Fresh vegetables, seafood, locally made pimento cheese, a wide variety of baked goods, and several local crafters are among the vendors.

The market is held in Fountain Inn’s Commerce Park, at 110 Depot St., under a covered pavilion. COVID limitations from last season will be implemented again this year.

Monthly market activities are the following:

• On the first Saturday of the month, a guest chef will prepare something from the vendors and give samples.
• On the second Saturday, they will hold a yoga class in the park.
• On the third Saturday, there will be a kid’s activity, such as zucchini races and make-and-take art projects.
• The fourth Saturday of each month will feature local non-profits, a shred day, and a health fair.

The Coffey House Group is the market’s presenting sponsor this year, with Ryan Homes as their merchandise sponsor and an AGSouth Farmers Market Grant.

This year, a Fall market has also been added, which will run from September 18 to October 23.
