Overview
Farms
The landscape here is pretty well developed near the coast – hotels, restaurants, houses, businesses, condos, etc. But drive ten or fifteen minutes inland and you can be in the middle of nowhere and, say, on a farm. That’s right, in addition to having some of the best beaches and golf courses in the world, the Grand Strand is also home to several working farms that are open to the public. Take a tour, pick up some fresh produce, or check out some beautiful gardens – whatever you do when you get there, it’s a sure bet that adding a trip to the farm is unique way to literally get away from it all.
Indigo Farms
Straddling the N.C.-S.C. border, this Little River farm is home to a farmer’s market full of fresh fruits and vegetables, a garden center with everything you could possibly need to facilitate the growth of your new plant, and a produce center that offers preserves, jams, cured meats, local honey, locally-produced barbeque sauce, and much more. Indigo Farms also features various activities throughout the year, from the pick-your-own-berries in the spring to bonfires and hayrides in the fall.
