Polk County Farms is ready to welcome everyone back to its farmers’ markets for the 2024 Summer Market Season.
This year, the Saluda Tailgate Market will run every Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. The market’s new location will be located at 214 East Main Street in Saluda, starting May 3rd through October 18th.
The Columbus Farmers Market will be held every Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon. This market will be located at 40 Courthouse St. in Columbus and will run from May 4th through October 19th.
These wonderful farmers’ markets feature an abundance of locally grown foods. By shopping at the farmers’ markets, you help support our local farmers who provide us with the freshest produce, eggs, and meat products. A slew of locally handmade crafts will also be available at the Columbus Farmers Market.
If you are interested in becoming a vendor at either market, vendor applications are available on their website (www.polkcountyfarms.org).
In an effort to make this community centerpiece even more accessible to Polk County residents, Polk County Farms has the ability to accept SNAP benefits. In fact, at the farmers’ markets, your SNAP benefits are doubled!
For more information, call (828) 894-2281 or email us at [email protected]. You can also access more resources from our website: www.polkcountyfarms.org.
Polk County Farms looks forward to seeing you at the market!
