Aiken County Farmers Market 115 Williamsburg Street Southeast, Aiken, SC 29801

The Aiken County Farmers Market, located at 115 Williamsburg Street Southeast in Aiken, South Carolina, is the oldest county farmers’ market in continuous service in the same location in the state. This historic market offers a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, meat, honey, dairy products, and handmade crafts. The goods are displayed on tables that were built by farmers and their families over 50 years ago.

The market is not just a place to buy goods, but also a place where conversations and recipes are shared among friends, old and new. The market has a rich history, with its roots dating back to the Aiken Cotton Platform and Scale, where farmers would sell their goods under the shade of trees.

In 1980, the market faced the threat of commercial development, but thanks to the efforts of Rosamond McDuffie and the Aiken Historic Preservation Commission, the market was saved. Today, the market continues to thrive, with descendants of the early farmers carrying on the tradition of selling their homegrown produce and flowers.

Throughout the year, the market hosts various events and activities on Saturdays, providing visitors with a unique and charming experience. Come and immerse yourself in the magic of Aiken, where gracious hospitality and equestrian heritage come together to create cherished memories.
