farmers market + park pairings
The perfect outing with kids is a farmers market stop + park. You can grab a drink, a snack and then let kids run out energy. Here are the details about which parks and which markets pair perfectly together.
Some of the THINGS YOU'LL FIND
I always plan on getting a drink from A Coffee Movement at the market. Some of the best coffee and lattes in the Grand Strand. They’re usually at Surfside and Conway plus they have some other fun locations for special events!
You’ll find plenty of sweet treats and Caseys CookieWorx is at the top of our list. I can’t hardly ever get one because my kids devour them the moment they’re unwrapped. Casey is an exceptional person and she makes exceptional cookies. There is also Sugar Moss who makes the oatmeal cookies featured by Crazy Mason in some of their insane concoctions.
Produce & Fresh Meats | There are many local farmers who bring their farm fresh produce & responsibly grown meats to the market. We love Thigpen Farms, Microledon Farms, Home Grown Farm and more.
Locals Making Beautiful Things | You’ll find jewelry, pottery, cutting boards and other crafted wood, plants, handmade soaps, and so much more! The perfect place to find something for yourself or a gift for any upcoming birthdays! Just a few of the super talented makers are: Hagan Trading Post, A Little Selah and Rooted Beauty.
