Healthy Carolina Farmer’s Market
In an effort to promote healthy living and sustainability, USC hosts an on-campus
Farmers Market every Tuesday on or around Greene Street in front of the
Russell House. The Farmers Market is from 10am to 2pm and begins in late
August or early September and runs through early to mid November. The
market returns in late March for about a month and also comes back in the
summer from early June to late July. The vendors, who only accept cash, sell
locally grown and made products such as produce, baked goods, seafood,
boiled peanuts, kettlecorn, jams, sauces, soaps, lotions, and much more. The First
Lady of USC, Mrs. Patricia Moore-Pastides, is a strong supporter of the
Farmers Market and she and her staff will usually pass out a free in-season
piece of produce to students passing through the market. Vendors at the
Farmers Market only accept cash.
