Carolina Forest Farmers Market

Carolina Forest Farmers Market is part of the Waccamaw Market Cooperative, a nonprofit that coordinates and manages community-based farmers markets across the region. That organizing structure gives this Myrtle Beach market a place within a broader network serving Horry and Georgetown Counties rather than a standalone pop-up. The market meets at 2554 Carolina Forest Blvd in the Carolina Forest area of Myrtle Beach and runs on multiple weekdays and weekend dates during its season from April through December. For shoppers in this part of Myrtle Beach, that combination of a neighborhood location and a mission-driven operator is the clearest reason to put it on the calendar.

Why it matters locally

The Waccamaw Market Cooperative manages a regional network of markets in partnership with public and private organizations, and Carolina Forest Farmers Market sits inside that larger local system. That matters in practical terms because the same nonprofit is responsible for coordinating community-based farmers markets throughout Horry and Georgetown Counties, tying this Myrtle Beach market to a broader effort instead of treating it as an isolated event.

The network itself is spread across recognizable Grand Strand and nearby locations, including Valor Park at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, Prince Lawn at Coastal Carolina University, Conway under the Main Street bridge, and sites in North Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island. Carolina Forest’s place within that map makes it one stop in a county-spanning set of community markets coordinated under the same banner.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change plans before you head over. The market is located at 2554 Carolina Forest Blvd in Myrtle Beach and operates on a spread of five market days during the season: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Hours vary by day, with Tuesday and Friday running 10am to 3pm, Wednesday and Sunday running 11am to 3pm, and Saturday listed with morning hours. Restrooms are not available, so this is a stop to plan with that limitation in mind.

Because the market is part of the Waccamaw Market Cooperative’s regional schedule, Carolina Forest fits into a larger set of market-day options around the area rather than a single once-a-week setup.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Carolina Forest Farmers Market, an important point for shoppers planning how to pay before arriving. The market’s visitor details also indicate that payment methods are clearly identified on site, which helps set expectations even without a single cash-only or card-only rule stated for every vendor.
