Landrum Farmer's Market — Local services in Landrum

Consider me throughly disappointed. My family and I decided to check this place for the first time the Saturday before Mother’s Day and honestly we were so disappointed. Both my husband and I grew up farmers market kids up in the mountains of NC but had yet to go to one since growing up and moving to SC. Maybe the culture/community has change but my goodness people are RUDE! Nearly every table we walked by people wouldn’t even acknowledge us, even after we were noticeably interested in their products, they typically wouldn’t bother to look your direction unless you were pulling money out.

He hit us with the “when you get sick do you take antibiotics?” To which my husband replied it depends and he proceeded to refer to us as “you people” and mumbled multiple insults under his breath. Mind you, both myself and our two young kids are standing right there. Overall, it was a crowded, judgmental group of people who did not see interested in newcomers.

As we were leaving, at least 6 cars were pulling in, not to mention a van from a retirement center full of senior citizens...It wastes people's time when they venture out to spend at the market only to have people pack up an hour to an hour and a half before the closing time. When we left it...

All the best in quality, quantity and local goodness. Today I bought fresh cut Dill and homemade Rosemary bread, beautiful Lion's Mane mushrooms, some Carolina Reaper Jerkey from a local source wasn't the only tasty treat I enjoyed homemade donuts mmmm, after which I bought two lovely healthy tomato plants to take home and plant in my little garden...even picked up a new recipe and got to pet the most adorable baby goat and some baby chick's. Oops forgot about the...
