10Best Says

Head to the Charleston Farmers Market (April through early December) for a complete showcase of what Charleston's local artists, artisans, bakers and, of course, farmers have to offer. Enter this Marion Square market from Meeting or King streets and encounter rows of local farmers offering all of the fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, and flowers of the season. After bagging any groceries or produce you may need, it's time to choose a food vendor and snag some quick and tasty brunch or lunch to enjoy in the park. Choosing a food vendor is a tough decision at Charleston Farmers Market; trust your nose and line up for whichever place smells the best--it's all good here. After a quick bite, stroll the remainder of the market rows to browse handmade jewelry, goats milk soaps, paintings and letterpress goods. You'll leave full and happy, with a best kind of local souvenirs in tow.
