Farmers Markets - I only went to the downtown farmers market in Marion Square once in 2011.  I purchased some produce and an icy lemonade, then spent the rest of my Saturday morning soaking in the scenery.  There was a lot going on, and I'm looking forward to making it a regular activity in 2012.  Here’s a description from the City of Charleston website:

“Nestled beneath beautiful trees with plenty of room for families to gather and children to play, the Farmers Market comes to life each Saturday morning and offers an abundance of the freshest local produce, shrimp, plants, herbs and cut flowers. While strolling the Charleston Farmers Market, a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunches are available while listening to a variety of live entertainment. The Farmers Market also offers an amazing assortment of juried arts and crafts, providing the best selection and most talented local artisans.”

The 2012 Charleston Farmers Market schedule runs every Saturday (8am-2pm) from April 7^th – December 23^rd with a few Sundays thrown in for good measure.  All of the dates are posted at the link provided above.

There are several other farmers markets scattered throughout the various parts of Charleston.  If you know of a good one please post the details.  


Which markets/products/vendors are your favorites?  Or do you have a different F activity you prefer to do during the Spring/Summer months in Charleston?
