Healthy Carolina’s farmers market opens for the spring semester Tuesday, March 14. The market runs from 9 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. on Greene Street in front of the Preston residence hall. Vendors must sell sustainable and locally produced or sourced products to participate in the market.
The Healthy Carolina Farmers Market is a collaborative partnership between Healthy Campus Initiatives, Student Government, the Office of the First Lady, Russell House University Union, Parking Services and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture to promote the vision of a Healthy Carolina. It aims to emphasize the direct connection between local food choices people make and the quality and health of our environment and daily lives. The market promotes overall wellness through campus resources, cooking demonstrations, health screenings and community engagement, while still providing access to healthy, fresh and locally-grown goods.
The market is open each Tuesday regardless of the weather.
