Farmers Market supports county residents with local produce
The Aiken Farmers Market on Richland Avenue and Williamsburg Street, founded by the late Raymond Willis, continues to serve local farmers and county shoppers. Supervisor H Platt Moseley notes strict regulations, uniform pricing, and fresh produce, with farmers renting tables and market hours expanding soon. Community members praise quality and affordability of vegetables and flowers, and young Becky Sharpe helps at the market. Prices and rents face modest increases due to higher seeds and fertilizer costs, but farmers remain optimistic.
