The CharlesTon
Farmers markeT
The downtown Charleston Farm-
ers Market, by far the largest in the
area, attracts a multitude of residents
looking to purchase art, okra and fresh
juice every Saturday, from 8 a.m. to
2 p.m., starting April 9 and running
through Nov. 26. During Spoleto sea-
son, the market is open on Sundays as
well to ensure double the weekend fun.
Early birds can rise with the sun and
get down to Marion Square early to
secure the best selection of homegrown
goodness. A favorite among locals and
visiting tourists, the Charleston Farm-
ers Market provides all the elements for
attaining a flavorful life.
Among the hundreds of vendors,
working hard under white-tented
canopies, you’ll find Charleston’s
own Rewind Candles. Providing
alluring scents like Champagne and
Merlot, these candles are sure to set
the mood for a dinner party of any
variation. A few booths away, you’ll
discover Rio Bertolini’s Handmade
Pasta, which pairs perfectly with the
sweet basil grown by Lee Burbage of
Island Thyme Herbs. The magic of
the market truly unfolds when you
start to envision the delicacies you
can cook up for a memorable night.
Each vendor offers a little piece of the
puzzle that once completed is sure to
translate into exquisite meals.
“The most rewarding aspect of my
position as manager of the Charleston
Farmers Market is definitely having
the privilege of working with all of
the talented and dedicated vendors,”
said Harrison Chapman, who admits
to consuming an entire watermelon in
one sitting. “Going into this position,
I understood that I would get a taste
of each vendor’s offering, but I must
say that I had no idea the vendors
would teach me so much.”
Clocking time in the fields until
just after dusk, farmers are a breed all
