Saturday, May 10th from 8AM-Noon:  LOCAL, ORGANIC FARMERS MARKET  Join us in supporting organic, South Carolina agriculture as local organic farmers will be on hand selling the fruits of their labor. We'll have fresh veggies, fresh dairy, locally-raised beef and pork and a whole lot more!

We'll also be serving our All-Local, All-Organic Farmers Breakfast featuring Wil-Moore Farms Eggs, Anson Mills Grits and Caw Caw Creek Pork Sausage Links for only $4. Come early to get the best stuff and remember that we usually end breakfast at around 10:30. After all, no self-respectin' farmer could call a meal after 10:30 'breakfast'. Heck, most farmers eat 'brunch' before 9! Carolina Wings will be cooking up some Caw Caw Creek BBQ pork sandwiches, too! So, if you roll out of bed late, you'll still have some hot, fresh local food to eat!
