From local produce and fresh baked goods to Megalodon teeth, the Farmers Market at Litchfield offers something for everyone
July 11, 2022
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – As summer welcomes visitors to South Carolina’s Hammock Coast beach communities, the Farmers Market at Litchfield is busier than ever.
Located on the front grounds of the Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort, the market is open each Wednesday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., attracting locals and visitors alike.
Like any good farmers market, the items available range from locally grown fruit and vegetables, fresh baked goods, including Southern favorites like homemade Key Lime Pie and cheddar biscuits, to hand-poured soy candles. There are also dog treats made from natural ingredients, hand-crafted jewelry and gifts, and even prehistoric items like teeth from the Megalodon, a giant shark that swam the oceans 20 million years ago whose massive teeth can still be found along South Carolina rivers and beaches.
The market first opened in the fall of 2021. It was so popular that the resort brought it back in the spring of 2022. Now that the peak summer season is here, the market’s appeal is stronger than ever.
Resort Manager Benjamin Greene said the farmers market’s future seems bright.
“We wanted to create a community event for people at Litchfield By the Sea and the Pawleys Island area, and we are continuing to grow and evolve this event,” Greene said. “We continue to add vendors and those who have been with us have done really well.”
New vendors, who don’t pay a fee to be part of the weekly event, are always welcome, and can contact Greene on the resort’s website, litchfieldbeach.com, to submit an application.
