Myrtle Beach Farmers Markets: Fresh Local Produce, Schedules & Fun Family Outings

Myrtle Beach Farmers Markets: Fresh Local Produce, Schedules & Fun Family Outings

May ushers in one of the best seasons along the Grand Strand, not only for ocean swims but also for the kickoff of our premier farmers markets. Before tourism dominated Horry County (home to Myrtle Beach), agriculture fueled the local economy. Today, thriving farms continue to supply exceptional seasonal produce, meats, eggs, honey, and more.

The Waccamaw Market Cooperative coordinates these vibrant markets across the county, each growing in popularity and quality. They're perfect for families—my boys and I love selecting fresh ingredients for dinner amid live music, free yoga, and community vibes at select spots!
