Pee Dee State Farmers Market is at 2513 West Lucas Street in Florence, South Carolina. The state operator describes approximately 50 acres and more than 700,000 annual visits without identifying a measurement year. It is an agricultural and horticultural market with multiple vendors, rather than a financial exchange. Visitor numbers are not counts of professional buyers and do not measure produce tonnage. The figures provide context for the site's public reach, not a forecast of sales available to a new vendor.
The offer includes fresh produce and ornamental horticulture. The vendor directory also identifies a fish and shrimp seller. Buyers should choose businesses according to their needs and confirm availability before travelling. Plant orders should specify species, pot size and quantity, while food orders need grade, packaging and a collection date. Larger purchases for a shop or restaurant require direct agreement. Presence at the market does not guarantee a wholesale minimum, a special bulk price or identical ordering arrangements across vendors.
Administration can be reached at +1 843 665 5154. Admission and parking are free. Listed retail hours run Monday to Saturday, 08:00–17:00 from January through 1 March and 08:00–18:00 thereafter. Check holiday exceptions and the availability of the chosen stand before the journey. Office hours need not match every business's hours. A larger collection should have an agreed loading location, rather than leaving vehicle access and handling to be organised after the purchase has already been made.
Growers interested in selling should contact administration about space and participation terms. Describe the intended season, product range, technical requirements and area needed. Processed foods require clarification of applicable admission and labelling requirements, while plants may need destination-specific transport checks. Estimate the cost of space, travel, labour and unsold inventory before deciding whether participation is worthwhile. Visitor volume alone does not establish demand for a particular crop, and a trial selling period may provide more useful commercial information than the headline attendance figure.
Product rows describe the offer rather than confirmed quotations. Prices and reservations need to be checked with individual vendors, and any offers retained with their dates. The market may support customer relationships and product testing, but regular supply should separately address scheduling, quality standards and order fulfilment beyond an ordinary stand purchase. This distinction is useful for businesses seeking a repeatable procurement arrangement instead of an occasional visit.
