Towne Centre Seeks Farmers for Market

The second annual Mount Pleasant Towne Centre Farmers' Market begins on May 19. The event will be held Saturday mornings from May 19 through July 14, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Theatre Drive.

"We are excited to offer this wonderful opportunity for our local farmers, food artisans, shoppers and community to come together," said Marketing Manager Kristi Tolley. "We are thankful for the selection of local farmers in the Lowcountry and will remain committed to only accepting quality growers for this well respected market."

The market will feature food demonstrations, tastings and recipes for in-season produce and family friendly entertainment. Opening weekend of the Farmers' Market at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre will feature a giveaway consisting of sustainable tote bags which customers can then fill with offerings from the market vendors.

The Mount Pleasant Towne Centre Farmers' Market has two main goals for the market: to help increase access to fresh, locally grown produce in the Lowcountry and to create an enjoyable, safe community event that brings shoppers and farmers together in support of the local economy, Tolley said.

The farmer and vendor list will be announced prior to May 19 and will continue to be added to throughout the season.

If you are a local farmer or food artisan and would like to join the Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre Farmers' Market, contact Kristi Tolley at (843) 216-9900 for details.

The Town of Mount Pleasant Farmers' Market, which is held every Tuesday through October on Coleman Boulevard at Moultrie Middle School, is set to open April 10.
