Local fall gardens and farms have been producing squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, melons, zucchini, herbs, peppers, sugar cane, grits, cornmeal, eggs, and more.
Farmers, fishermen, gardeners, crafters and caterers are invited to sell at the Farmers Market for a daily fee of $5 per 10-foot space. Vendor applications and market rules are available at the Clemson Extension office and at the market.
There is also a Community Booth available to local non-profit organizations at no charge. They are invited to share educational materials and to sell items for fundraising. Reservations for use of the Community Booth are required.
