The secret to why the Charleston area offers so many fine dining experiences is because much of the produce srve in local restaurants is grown locally. Even a number of marvelously flavorful heirloom vegetables—those old, open-pollinated varieties that have stood the test of time—harvested from local farms and gardens show up in the kitchens of Charleston's finest restaurants.
The tastes of Charleston are easily available to residents and visitors, alike, through a number of public venues. Perhaps the most popular is the Charleston Farmer's Market.

Nestled beneath beautiful trees with plenty of room for families to gather and children to play, the event comes to life each Saturday morning, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering an abundance of the freshest local produce, as well as plants, herbs and cut flowers. While strolling through the Farmer's Market, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch and listen to a variety of live entertainment. The Farmer's Market also offers an amazing assortment of juried arts and crafts, providing the best selection and most talented local artisans. The celebrated Charleston Farmer's Market is produced by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs.
