Local Food Sources

The Pee Dee of South Carolina has an abundance of excellent local food sources, many of which provide organic/free-range/grass-fed produce, poultry and meat.

There is a twice weekly farmers market at Naturally Outdoors in Florence that carried a wide range of produce, grain, meats, cheeses, eggs, milk, baked goods, honey, and more.  Naturally Outdoors is located at 2519 West Palmetto Street, Florence.  The market is on Thursdays from 4 PM to 7PM and on Saturdays from 10AM to 1 PM.

The farmers who run and supply the market also run a CSA (community supported agriculture), called the Pee Dee CSA, that provides weekly supply of veggies and/or meat for members.

The Pee Dee Farmers Market, located at 2513 West Lucas Street in Florence, is also a great source of local foods.  Trinity Farms has a booth there where they not only sell local, organic foods but they also supply a variety of heirloom seeds from Seed Savers Exchange. 

For a complete listing of Certified South Carolina grown farmers and farms you can check out the South Carolina Department of Agriculture website.
