About Town: Farmers Markets Around Kiawah River

As the region’s first agrihood, Kiawah River features a working farm partnership with local Johns Island farmers complete with beef cattle, chickens, bees, produce, flower fields and a goat dairy. By fostering farm-to-table living, we have created a self-sustaining community that prioritizes residents’ wellness and a strong connection to nature. When we’re not enjoying fresh veggies from the Kiawah River Farm, the abundance of nearby farmers markets keeps our bellies full and families happy.
