I was so excited to drive along King Street and find this Farmer's Market. From the street it is so inviting and colorful! This market seems to attract a lot of people.\n\nI was very disappointed once I started looking more closely at the products. The market sells produce that you would find at a grocery store (perhaps slightly lower prices due to difference in overhead). I talked to one of the workers there and he said that they do not carry organic or local products (with the exception of some local Carolina strawberries that day). However, he said to check back in a month because they may start carrying some local types of products. \n\nI want to support local growers and sustainable practices by shopping at Farmers Markets. I do not plan on returning here when I can buy the same produce at a local grocery store. However, if you enjoy shopping outdoors and it encourages you to eat more fruits and veggies, this would be a nice experience.
