Springs Farm Farmers Market

Springs Farm Farmers Market sits on Springfield Parkway in Fort Mill, tying the market directly to the farm name visitors see on the roadside. The market runs as part of a farm operation that has been in place since 1938, with summer produce, peaches, and strawberries at the center of what it grows and sells. That long timeline matters here because the market is not only a produce stop: it is also the public face of a working farm that pairs fresh-picked crops with prepared treats and seasonal farm experiences. If you are planning a visit, expect a market built around the farm’s own seasonal rhythm rather than a once-a-week pop-up.

Why it matters locally

Since 1938, Springs Farm has framed its work around fresh farm products and supplying its community with fresh and local options. That local role is stated plainly in the farm’s own description, which says providing the community with fresh and local choices is a top priority and connects that mission to the benefits of eating local food across age groups.

The market also extends that relationship beyond a single shopping trip through its CSA, described as a partnership between farmer and consumer. In that program, members pay in advance for weekly produce, and the farm emphasizes produce that is often harvested the same day customers receive it, along with a direct connection to where, how, and by whom food is produced. Together, the storefront market and CSA give Springs Farm a year-to-year presence in Fort Mill’s local food economy.

What you'll find there

The mix here centers on the farm’s own seasonal produce and the foods that grow naturally around it: peach-season shopping, fresh-picked items, and cold or shelf-stable extras that turn a produce run into more of a farm-market stop. Rather than a long multi-vendor roster, the offerings point to Springs Farm’s own market spaces and product lines across the property.

• -Springs Farm Market offers fresh picked produce, baked goods, jarred items, boiled peanuts, old fashioned glass sodas, slushies, and homemade soft serve ice cream.
• -Browse The Old Peach Stand, an open-air market that operates each summer when peaches start their season.
• -Find top quality produce at The New Peach Stand, described as the sister store to the original stand.

The farm’s summer emphasis includes peaches arriving around the beginning of June, with different varieties in the store as the season gets underway. A clear thread at Springs Farm is the way farm shopping and warm-weather treats overlap. The farm’s own materials put strawberries, peaches, and the market at the center of the business, then carry that into slushies in strawberry and peach flavors meant for hot days. At the market itself, that continues with old fashioned glass sodas and homemade soft serve ice cream alongside fresh produce, baked goods, and boiled peanuts. One visitor mentioned buying day-old strawberries and a strawberry cobbler mix, while another highlighted picking flowers straight from the farm, both of which reinforce that this is a place where the visit can move from produce buying into a more seasonal, hands-on outing. The result is a market experience shaped as much by what is in season as by what you can snack on while you are there.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change how you plan the trip. If you are heading specifically for pick-your-own, use 835 Springfield Parkway in Fort Mill rather than the main market address; customers are directed down the gravel drive to the field on the right and should park in the grassy area. Restrooms are not available, so this is a visit worth planning with that in mind.

The market keeps daily hours during its June-to-November season, but Sunday opens later than the rest of the week, from 1pm to 7pm instead of the 8am start used Monday through Saturday. For questions before you go, the farm lists both a phone number and market email contact.
