City Center Farmers Market

For Florence residents looking to eat locally and support South Carolina agriculture, City Center Farmers Market is a reliable source of fresh, in-season food from farms in the surrounding region.

The market schedule is Saturdays, 8 AM - 1 PM, May - October. Early shoppers typically find the largest selection before popular vendors sell out.

Farmers markets like City Center Farmers Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at City Center Farmers Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Florence residents to the market week after week.

The selection at City Center Farmers Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

City Center Farmers Market is committed to serving all members of the Florence community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across South Carolina have prioritized in recent years.
