Beginning on Saturday April 1, 2023, the Aiken County Farmers Market located at the corner of Richland Ave and Williamsburg St will be open on Saturdays from 7:30am to 2:30pm until the end of November. Until recently the market was only open until 11:30am, but after feedback from the farmers and artisan crafters at the market, along with shoppers, the decision was made to extend the Saturday hours.

“We are so pleased that the City and the farmers are able to make this change to better serve the community”, stated Jessica Campbell, City of Aiken Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director. The City of Aiken has operated the market since 1958.

The Aiken County Farmers Market is the oldest county farmers’ market in continuous service in the same location in S.C. Vendors sell an array of fresh produce, large assortment of baked goods, meats, honey, and eggs. Along with handmade crafts of all kinds, the market has grown with the needs of the citizens of Aiken. Goods are displayed on tables built by farmers and their families of Aiken County over 50 years ago. During the busy season April to November the market can have over 40 different vendors from around the Aiken area.

The market also operates on Tuesday and Thursday and those hours will remain as 7:30a to 11:30a.
