Concord Market — Attraction in Anderson

It's what you expect from a local market; everything is more expensive than elsewhere but the produce is amazing and so worth it. Best tomatoes ever; big and juicy with real tomato flavor. Yeah, they spoil if you hold them too long, cause they are chosen to be great tomatoes, not to sit on a shelf for weeks. I stop in here regularly to keep these delicious beauties in my kitchen. I just got the most amazing strawberries here; from Chesnee SC - buy local! - I ate them all straight from the basket! These are the first strawberries I've had in ages that taste like STRAWBERRIES!!! I'll be going back for a bigger basket! The staff is all young guys, several tatted and pierced, always polite and helpful. You never have to look for them, one is always available, usually behind the counter ready to help. They have great boiled peanuts as well, boiled there, and fresh butter, and a lot of other farm market stuff like preserves, jams, pickles, and breads. My hubby loves the chow chow so much I am putting up some myself this year. There is a huge selection of plants and lush hanging baskets, as well as an assortment of whimsical plant-holders and comfy lawn chairs in super bright colors. They clearly prefer cash (who doesn't) and charge a small fee for cards to help cover the outrageous fees that cards charge businesses these days.

Went here today and bought 2 sugar babies, 2 cantaloupes and 3 tomatoes...The cantaloupes were so juicy and sweet...The tomatoes were so juicy and ripe but the sugar babys were not sweet, I paid 8 dollars for those sugar babies, so of course I took them back wanting to get 2 new ones, not my money back...I was told that they were ripe but not sweet...So tell me who eats non sweet watermelon!!! I could not believe that they would not replace them...I am a Jersey girl and my father grew produce in South Jersey and sold what he grew...He was one of the best and his watermelons were always sweet and juicy...I have also been to many other produce markets and if you were not happy with the product, They would give you another one...What a waste of my money and time travel...This is very poor business...I dont know how they sleep at night treating people like this or how they stay in business...Anyway I know they dont care but I will not be...

I visit the Concord Market most weeks. I especially appreciate that they have okra when the Anderson Farmer's Market farmers are done for the season. Their local apple selection is fabulous! It's introduced me to many new variety of apples. Zach introduced me to boiled peanuts and I love them. They sell a big bag (maybe 20 lbs) of deer apples and I've purchased these for a neighbor and myself. They have lovely seasonal products - pumpkins, Christmas trees and wreaths. Highly recommend them. Staff is very friendly and helpful - especially putting the big bag of apples...
